On Wednesday, March 26, KPMG's women's group, KPMG Network of Women (KNOW), volunteered at the Ripley House Food Fair to celebrate Women's History Month. This volunteer day builds upon a strengthening relationship between KPMG and BakerRipley that began last year. On this day, we distributed an estimated 7,588 lbs. of food and served 237 individuals representing 96 households. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to KPMG for their partnership with BakerRipley. Your commitment and support help us make a positive impact in the community.

Tommy Johnson is a native Houstonian, Army veteran, and dedicated caretaker whose story reflects resilience, service, and the power of community. Tommy served as a finance specialist and paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After leaving the military, his commitment to helping others remained strong. Since joining the senior program in July 2024, he has found a sense of belonging through the meal program and the friendships he has made. Tommy was originally selected to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas, but due to changes in his living situation, he was unable to take part. However, his story touched many, and Fox26 Houston, Chick-fil-A Restaurants, and Walmart stepped in to ensure he still received support. They awarded him free Chick-fil-A for a year and provided gifts to help him through this challenging time. His journey is a testament to perseverance, kindness, and the importance of community support. Through it all, Tommy continues to give back, showing the power of generosity and resilience even in difficult times.
