Impact Week In Review, and a Message From Alyssa Stewart

Impact Week has come to a close at United Way of South Central Michigan, and we’re glad you joined us!  Please take a moment to hear a message from our Chief Impact Officer, Alyssa Stewart.

Last week, we highlighted the ways in which UWSCMI is looking to ALICE data to drive our investments, partnerships, and programs. We learned what ALICE represents, and how programs and organizations within our region are continuing to make an impact in their communities each and every day. Let’s recap the last week of impact and how we can continue to use ALICE data to support Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Capital Area, and Jackson County.
