"As we invest in organizations like Thelma's Kitchen, that's paying a dividend back to our shareholders – the community we serve,” shares J.R. Buckner, President & CEO of First Federal Bank of Kansas City. “That's building up the community so that everyone can thrive, not just a handful of people."
J.R. and his team at First Federal were the lead sponsor in Thelma’s Kitchen’s recent birthday giving challenge, which ultimately netted over $44,000 for KC’s first donate-what-you-can cafe and more than 1,400 pay it forward tokens for those experiencing poverty and food insecurity.
J.R. joins Fr. Justin Mathews on The Social Leader podcast today to discuss values-based leadership and organizational culture, stewarding your blessings, being an inclusive and faith-inspired leader, hiring “we” and not “I” people, and much more.
