Rick Vogsberger
In 2012, Rick and his wife, Karen, took their children Austin, Bradyn and Colin to “Foster Parents Night Out”, where they had their first significant exposure to foster care. As a parent, it was Rick’s goal to help his kids see the need of children in our community and hopefully impress on them to think less about themselves and more of others. It was at that event Rick learned his Heavenly Father had for him the same goal. God broke Rick’s heart for His little ones, and he knew he must respond in some way. That night started their journey, as Karen and Rick are currently adopting 3-year-old twins (boy and girl) who have been part of the family for 2-1/2 years.
Rick has a bachelor’s degree in theology from Baptist Bible College. Rick enjoys spending time with his family, serving with his wife at their church, traveling and any excuse for sports – especially if it includes the Dallas Cowboys or the New York Yankees.

Lisa Peter
Lisa Peter has spent more than 30 years working in mortgage lending, banking, and credit unions, where she has been passionate about helping individuals and families achieve financial stability and the dream of homeownership. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of guiding people through important financial decisions, educating them on financial wellness, and helping them build stronger futures for themselves and their families.
Homeownership holds deep meaning for Lisa because she believes it creates stability, opportunity, and generational wealth. Helping others navigate that journey has been one of the most rewarding parts of her professional life, and she takes great pride in serving others with compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact.
Being a part of the Board of Hope’s Closet is especially meaningful to Lisa on a personal level. As someone who grew up in the foster care system and eventually aged out of care, she feels particularly closte to this mission. She understands firsthand the challenges, uncertainty, and emotional impact that many children and young adults in foster care experience. It has long been a personal goal of hers to give back in a meaningful way to organizations that support foster youth, families, and the foster parents who so generously open their hearts and homes to children in need.
In her free time, Lisa and her husband enjoy seeing live music, spending time with friends and family, and visiting with their adult daughter, who is currently a student at Purdue University. Lisa is honored to serve alongside others who are committed to making a difference and helping provide hope, dignity, and support to children and families in need.
