I had the privilege of attending the ribbon-cutting event at Storehouse—an organization doing incredible work by matching brand-new products with nonprofits and schools across Michigan, ultimately impacting over 5 million people in need. Founder Jessica Johns shared the inspiring vision, mission, and history behind Storehouse. She spoke passionately about their goals to expand and deepen their impact across the state. Her heart for service was evident in every word. Jessica and the Storehouse team also gave us a tour of the warehouse, including some eye-opening staged examples of the real savings they provide to nonprofits (see attached photos). It’s one thing to hear the numbers—but seeing it in person drove home just how transformational their work is. The event featured several inspiring speakers who shared powerful stories of collaboration and impact: 🔹 Jeremy Burgin, founder of Village 99, described how Storehouse stepped in when they received over 300 washer/dryer units from Whirlpool—resources that went on to support multiple nonprofits and directly benefit 22 families. 🔹 Tenisa Frye of Family Promise shared how their partnership with Storehouse has saved them over $50,000—funds that can now be redirected to frontline services. 🔹 Maggie Lancaster CEO of the Children’s Museum spoke of similar success, with Storehouse helping meet vital supply needs. It was truly uplifting to see so many organizations answering the call to serve, working together to support nonprofits and under-resourced communities—not just in Grand Rapids, but throughout Michigan. Grateful to witness what happens when the body of Christ comes together with a shared heart to serve. Thank you, Storehouse, for being a conduit of generosity and collaboration. #CommunityImpact #NonprofitSupport #MichiganNonprofits #ServeOthers #FaithInAction #PartnershipForGood #SocialImpact #GivingBack #RibbonCutting #FaithInAction #KingdomWork #GodProvides #GodAtWork #HandsAndFeetOfJesus #Storehouse

I always enjoy meeting new people—but the energy hits a whole new level when I connect with those passionate about serving their communities. I recently had the privilege of attending a networking event hosted by the Grand Rapids Chamber and the Coalition to End Homelessness. The mission was powerful: eliminate homelessness in Grand Rapids. They just helped 100 of the most vulnerable individuals and families secure stable housing—an incredible milestone worth celebrating. The event also brought together a range of nonprofits doing impactful work. One that stood out to me was Catherine’s Health Center, whose mission is to deliver quality health care for everyone. Their mobile health van serves individuals experiencing homelessness—meeting people where they are, and offering care with dignity and compassion. I’m grateful to work for a company that values community involvement and creates space for us to connect with others who lead with service. Are there organizations you support or admire for the way they’re making a difference? I’d love to hear about them—always looking to learn, collaborate, and give back where I can. #CommunityImpact #NetworkingWithPurpose #EndHomelessness #NonprofitSupport #GrandRapids
