When you ask about Ken Kupchick around Fort Smith, one theme is often repeated gratitude. I was at the sack lunch program, and he came and knocked on the door. He said he could help me, Jean Kollejski, co-director of the Sack Lunch Program, said. I didn t know who he was, but he knew how to get supplies and services to feed people in Fort Smith . and I learned tremendously from him. Ken will be greatly missed in our volunteer community. He has spent so many years dedicating himself to the needs of the lower-income and food-insecure populations in our community, Sharon Chapman, executive director of The Next Step Homeless Services, said.
