From all of us here at HRI, THANK YOU, Kalamazoo! ❤️
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make Project Connect a success yesterday.
From the service providers and community partners who shared valuable resources, to the volunteers, sponsers, and attendees who spent the day connecting with one another, your support demonstrated the power of our community coming together to help neighbors in need.
While we celebrate the event's success, yesterday also served as an important reminder of the tremendous challenges many individuals and families in our community face every day. We met people struggling to access basic necessities that many of us take for granted, including food, clothing, hygiene items, phone chargers, transportation, and stable housing. These needs are real, they are urgent, and they exist right here in our community.
Project Connect is about more than connecting people to services. It is about restoring hope, preserving dignity, and reminding people that they are not alone.
Thank you to everyone who helped make a difference. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community and creating pathways to housing stability and self-sufficiency for those who need it most.
To our sponsors, we could not do it without you! Thank you
Kalamazoo Community Foundation, Horizon Bank, Integrated Services of Kalamazoo, West Michigan Cancer Center Radiation & Surgical Specialties, Data Guardian, and the HRI Board of Directors!
