Graduating from the University of Kansas in 1961, he served in the U.S. Navy for six years before spending three decades in Washington D.C., contributing to various social and political organizations. After 30 years serving the community in DC, Loring's heart drew him back to Lawrence, Kansas, where he directed the Redemptorist Social Services Center in Kansas City and later collaborated with the Lawrence Community Shelter (LCS), transforming it to better serve the homeless. After retiring from LCS in 2014, he founded the Drop-In and Rest Center (DARE) in Lawrence, driven by his enduring commitment to addressing homelessness. Loring's legacy exemplifies an unwavering dedication to uplifting communities and addressing their most pressing challenges, establishing The Dare Center as a beacon of hope and support for those in need. https://www.hrclawrence.org/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665284417b221e39e25ed116/1716683848949-HH7G25JCOYCPL7I8588M/Building+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665284417b221e39e25ed116/85a8794d-bded-4bc0-9676-5dae81393684/hrc+winter+small.png Home - HRC’s 2025 BY THE NUMBERS: 910 unique guests served 53 guests served a day on average 560+ loads of laundry cleaned 2,600+ showers taken 11,500 visits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/665284417b221e39e25ed116/1716683848956-J7YBJXF91QQR7OI806Z0/Washing%2BMachine.jpg Home - Donate Goods We provide showers, laundry, hygiene kits, snacks, and give our guests access to mail, phones, computers, meal services, and more.
