From the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce...
Great Bend, Kansas – This year, the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce is shining a spotlight on the businesses and individuals quietly impacting Barton County through their Unsung Hero campaign. The Chamber recently announced their first Unsung Hero(es): Buzz and Clifann Birney. Buzz and Clifann were nominated by community members who have witnessed first-hand the couple’s impact.
Great Bend Chamber president, Megan Barfield says, “We believe that true heroes don’t always wear capes; sometimes, they wear work boots, aprons, baseball caps, or business suits, dedicating their time and efforts to make Great Bend a better place for us all and we thank them!”
Meet Our First Unsung Heroes: Buzz & Clifann Birney
We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Buzz and Clifann, true community champions. Most recently, the couple organized and set up a warming station in a local church, providing a safe haven for those in need during the cold winter temperatures. Their selflessness knows no bounds, and he continues to make a significant impact in the lives of many.
The Birneys are the embodiment of community spirit, acting out of faith and compassion. As the founder of Live Like Jesus Today Ministries and Kingdom Campus, Buzz Birney dedicates himself to serving others, alongside his wife and family. Their selflessness extends from organized youth events to outreach programs for the homeless, prison systems, Barton Community College, and more of which are great and yet unseen.
