Hispanic Center of Western Michigan

??? Don’t forget to vote today! ??? ??Polls are open from 7am to 8pm?? Don't know your polling site? Check out where you need to vote here: https://lnkd.in/dZ9xpXD For months, the Hispanic Center's voting team has been working hard, reaching out to community members and helping them register to vote. Today, we want to celebrate all of their hard work! Here’s what some of our voter canvassers had to say about what this work means to them. One line that stuck out to us was from our canvasser, Blanca, who said, "This work is especially important because of moments like when a woman told me that in over 20 years of living in her neighborhood, a voting canvasser had never knocked on her door until now."

?? Join us for a special event! ?? Kendra Scott will be hosting a fundraiser for the Hispanic Center on October 5th, from 4-7 pm at their location in Breton Village (1944 Breton Rd SE, Grand Rapids, MI) ? ??? 20% of all proceeds will go directly to support and reinvest in our community programming. If you're unable to attend in person, you can still contribute by shopping online with the code GIVEBACK-HLMBA at kendrascott.com. Let's come together to make a positive impact in our community. ???

?? Join Us in Keeping Our Community Warm this Winter! ?? Last year, we helped 467 individuals receive much-needed coats to stay warm during the winter season. This year, our goal is to reach even more people in need, and we need your help to make it happen! We are seeking partners and supporters to join us in our annual coat distribution event happening on November 16th. Together, we can ensure that families in our community have the warmth they need as temperatures drop. If you’re interested in supporting this event, please reach out to Gaby at [email protected] or call (616)742-0221.
