Before last week gets too far behind us, we want to take a moment to say that we’re still overflowing with gratitude from the United Way of the Lakeshore Day of Caring!

A huge shoutout to the staff and volunteers at Embrace Books for your kindness and the incredible work you continue to do for our community.

And to The Hope Project thank you for the opportunity to partner with you. We enjoyed every minute of it!

Until next year!!

No better way to start Day of Caring with United Way of the Lakeshore and Muskegon Community College than a stretch session led by President Selmon!

Everyone survived 😅

Appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful, collaborative effort.

Good Morning Muskegon County,
We have volunteers out today doing damage assessment. They have identification and are wearing Muskegon County safety vests.

They are not contractors, not selling anything, they are asking questions about damage so we can collect the necessary information in order to request state and federal assistance.

Thank you for your help!

A life-saving resource is now more accessible in our community.

Trinity Health Michigan and Public Health - Muskegon County have partnered to install FREE NARCAN® (naloxone) nasal spray vending machines at four Trinity Health locations and the Muskegon County Health Department.

Narcan is a simple, easy-to-use medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose and restore breathing, buying critical time until emergency responders arrive. Making this tool readily available is an important step in addressing the opioid crisis and saving lives.
