About Maggie
Made In Wichita
The Heart of Wichita helped make Maggie who she is today. Raised in Riverside by her parents, Doug and Michelle, Maggie attended Woodland Preschool, Riverside Elementary, Marshall Middle, and North High. Maggie is proud to continue to call Riverside home today with her son, Paxton, and her husband, Levi.
Local Entrepreneur
Maggie felt the business spark early. At 22, Maggie bought
Maggie’s Scotch and Soda. A few years later, she bought
The Riverside Perk, the place she worked for her first job. Today, Maggie uses her experience as a small business owner cut red tape at City Hall.
Blessings to Share
In 2016, Maggie and her son, Paxton, created Paxton's Blessing Box - the first of more than 100 mutual aid distribution points across the nation. Every day, generous folks use the boxes to donate critically-needed items, including nonperishables, to vulnerable residents free of cost and available 24/7.
