Focus on the Basics

This is no ordinary time. It is a time of significant uncertainty, and our community is facing challenges many of us have not seen in our lifetimes. But challenges have a way of bringing things into perspective. They have a way of making us conscious of what is truly important; of helping us focus on the basics. The people of the greater Kalamazoo area are facing formidable challenges. But we as a community are hopeful and united in our focus and determination to help one another through these challenging times—from providing summer jobs to teens, to making sure area families have enough food, to teaching parents valuable parenting skills, to helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. It is important for us all to remain optimistic, to focus on the basics, and to call upon our collective compassion and generosity to enhance the spirit of community and quality of life for all of the people who call this exceptional community home.
