In observance of Juneteenth, NACD will be closed on Friday, June 19th. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. As we honor this important day, our staff will be participating in community celebrations and events taking place throughout Kalamazoo.

One of those events is Rootead's 5th Annual Juneteenth Celebration, happening Saturday, June 20th, from 1–7 PM at Bronson Park. We encourage community members to join in the celebration, connect with neighbors, and recognize both the progress that has been made and the work that remains to create equitable opportunities for all.

Happy Juneteenth, Kalamazoo! ❤️🖤💚

🎉 Another successful Senior Night in the books!

Yesterday, our Northside seniors came together for an evening of fun, fellowship, great food, games, and dancing to some Motown classics. Congratulations to all of our Bingo winners!

At NACD, we take pride in creating spaces where our residents—especially our seniors—can connect, build community, and enjoy themselves. While the Ecumenical Senior Center is being rebuilt, we’re committed to helping fill that gap and ensuring our seniors continue to have opportunities to gather and engage.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and stay tuned for our next Senior Night coming later this summer! ❤️
