Community Resources
As our cases of COVID-19 in West Michigan remain high, so do our hopes that our community will rally to control the spread of the disease. We are grateful for those practicing mask-wearing, hand washing and social distancing. And, we are inspired by those who encourage us all to #StayStrong. You can help us keep our communities healthy by sharing tips with friends and family. Use your positive influence to be part of the solution to the challenges we are facing.Share Our Weekly Stay Strong Tips
