Like many newly retired folks, Kathy Munzinger wanted to take a little time off before deciding where she wanted to spend her time and energy. She didn’t want to overcommit and she wanted to be a worker rather than a leader.

Her downtime didn’t last long. She became intrigued by Isabel’s House, Springfield, MO’s crisis nursery for parents who need a safe place for their children so they can deal with emergency issues in their lives.

She and her husband, Jeff, became donors. Then, Kathy went through training and background checks and now volunteers for a regular 7–10 a.m. breakfast shift.

Their other interests include Brentwood Christian Church, where both have served in leadership roles. Jeff is involved in Faith Voices of Southwest Missouri, the History Museum on the Square and has run for office; Kathy serves on The Kitchen Foundation board and as a longtime volunteer for the annual Black Tie Gala benefiting local LGBTQ nonprofits.
