Mr. Lombert’s life committed to community service is remarkable.

He organized a gala dinner for Operation Smile (2017), sponsored various products, and provided food assistance to over 20 families at the Booker T. Washington Community Center in Hamilton, Ohio (2018). Recently, Mr. Lombert, with the support of community members and contributions from MEIJER STORE, delivered clothing, food, and school supplies to MADELAES shelter and orphanage in the Dominican Republic (February 11, 2026). 

Mr. Lombert’s significant contributions to Ohio include organizing the inaugural Dominican Republic Independence Restoration Day parade in 2014 with the Dominican Association. His commitment to promoting Hamilton globally and attracting visitors has shaped its cultural landscape. In collaboration with The Sound of Quisqueya, and other organizations, Mr. Lombert celebrated the first anniversary of the Forest Park Public Library in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, with a “Celebration of Diversity” event on September 13, 2023.
