As a successful business, the Baker Family will consider worthy opportunities to help others individually or through other caring organizations. Jerry and his family make it their mission to give back to their faith and their community at every opportunity they have.

The Baker Family co-founded in 1980 the National Shrine of the Blessed Mother Mary in Laurie, Missouri and continues to support. In January of 2022, The Shrine is currently in a fundraising campaign to raise $5,000,000. The purpose of this campaign is to create more information on the shrine and hopefully create a destination for pilgrimages. The intention is to build a visitors center, amphitheater, shrine offices, and meeting rooms for visitors, a chapel, and a national hotel.

We also support the St. Michael’s Archangel Catholic High School in Lees Summit, Missouri.

We consider and make donations to many causes throughout the year personally by us and our employees.

Our family and company have been very blessed by God and we recognize the responsibility to help those in need.
