Neighbors in Action: NorthWest Initiative

Courtesy of Northwest Initiative

 

 

Each Wednesday we feature people and organizations working to make our community a better place. Today we feature NorthWest Initiative, which offers an array of programs and services to improve the health of neighborhoods on Lansing’s West and Northwest sides.Executive Director Peggy Vaughn-Payne, and Daryl Alexander, a former client and current volunteer at NorthWest Initiative, tell Current State what the organization has to offer the community.

 

 

We could always use more nominations and we know there are people and organizations out there that are doing excellent work and we just don’t know about them. Please help us out and tweet us at @KARCurrentState or send us an email to Currentstate@wkar.org. Put “Neighbors in Action” in the subject line and tell us why you think they should be featured for the great work they do.
