Larry Loberger is our volunteer of the week and the runner-up in the Heart of Gold Lifetime Achievement Category at the 2025 Volunteer Center of Brown County's Volunteer Awards, presented by Wisconsin Public Service Foundation!
Larry has been a dedicated volunteer with St. Vincent de Paul for over 20 years, offering compassionate support to individuals and families in Brown County, especially those experiencing homelessness. As the leader of the Resource Center, he oversees more than 15 volunteers and serves 40–50 walk-in guests three days a week, providing essential resources like rent and utility assistance, furniture, clothing, transportation vouchers, and, most importantly, a listening ear. He also serves as president of both the Green Bay District Council and the Board of Directors, volunteering nearly 40 hours a week.
In addition, Larry partners with local organizations to support refugees, the formerly incarcerated, and those in transitional housing. He also participates in annual community drives and has a legacy of service through past roles with the Stephen Ministry and the Ecumenical Partnership for Housing. Larry's creative problem-solving, leadership, and humility have made him an inspiration to fellow Vincentians. With over 13,000 volunteer hours logged, his impact is profound and deeply felt across the community. Even beyond direct service, his lifelong commitment to giving, such as donating 131 gallons of platelets to the Red Cross, is a testament to his generous spirit. Thank you, Larry, for everything you do!
