🌟Meet Richard Foster🌟
Meet Mr. Foster, or Dick, our generous Volunteer Custodian at Emmanuel Lutheran Church and Emmanuel-Faith Lutheran School! Mr. Foster has been lending his helping hand since 2007, starting back when Eldon Eklund was the custodian. He comes whenever the weather and his health will allow! 🧹 👨🔧
What does he love most about his role? It's all about the kids and the joy of volunteering to stay active and assist wherever needed.
Before his time here, Mr. Foster spent nearly 50 years in the hardware business, working with True Value and then Ace. 🛠️ He's also deeply involved in community service, driving donations to Orphan Grain Train about once a month and helping out at Wessels Living History Farm.
Dick’s brother, Bill, lives in Stanton, NE; and his sister, Jane, is at Willowbrook Assisted Living. He enjoys outdoor activities like working in the yard and taking peaceful walks. 🌳
