Neighbors In Action: The Listening Ear

Wednesday on CS means it’s time for Neighbors in Action, when we feature people and organizations working to make Greater Lansing a better place. Today, we hear about Listening Ear, an organization that offers support and counseling to people in crisis.To learn more about the program, Current State talks with Listening Ear volunteers Ian Jacobs and Sarah Dymond.

Current State is looking for more nominations for our “Neighbors In Action” feature.  Please help us out and e-mail us your suggestions to currentstate@wkar.org. Put ‘Neighbors in Action’ in the subject line. Or tweet us: @KARCurrentState, and tell us a little about why you think they should be featured for the great work they do.
