“Last week, we were honored to host a meet-and-greet alongside ISAAC, Interfaith Strategy for Advocacy & Action in the Community with the new Kalamazoo City Manager, Malcolm Hankins.

We’re grateful to everyone who attended and helped make the event meaningful. Forming relationships and gaining momentum together, as a community and alongside city leaders and partners, ignites hope and action like never before.

Thank you, ISAAC, for your partnership and commitment to advocacy and community engagement!
