Corporate Volunteer of the Year
Nick Obrochta
Senior facilities coordinator, Kohl’s Department Stores
As a six-year Navy veteran, the mission of Camp Hometown Heroes really resonates with Nick Obrochta, senior facilities coordinator and champion of the Veterans Business Resource Group at Kohl’s Corp.
Camp Hometown Heroes was founded in order to bring hope and healing to children who have lost a parent or sibling who served in the military.
According to Deb Paschke, director of outreach at Camp Hometown Heroes, Obrochta has been instrumental in growing Kohl’s Corp.’s involvement with the organization.
“It’s just incredible to work for a company like Kohl’s that really supports getting involved in your community and stepping up.
— Nick Obrochta, senior facilities coordinator, Kohl’s Department Stores
Led by Obrochta and his passion for the mission of the organization, Kohl’s Corp. devoted more than 500 hours and more than $25,500 dollars to Camp Hometown Heroes in 2017.
Thanks to his passion and the way he passes it on to others at Kohl’s, volunteers helped bring a camp that was shuttered for two years back to the point where the organization could welcome children safely and securely, Paschke said.
