Rich Kalkman began serving as Director of Brother Dan’s Food Pantry in December 2025, bringing a strong commitment to serving the community. A non-denominational outreach of St. Francis Xavier Parish, the Pantry supports individuals and families across Emmet County and surrounding areas.

Rich leads with compassion and respect, embracing the mission to serve as “God’s hands” in feeding the hungry. He is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where guests are treated with dignity and care. At Brother Dan’s, those in need are welcomed as guests—offered not only food, but conversation, understanding, and a sense of belonging.

Through his leadership, the Pantry continues to be both a vital food resource and a place of connection and community support.
