Amazing Community Support.

When an E2 tornado struck Kalamazoo County on May 7^th, After the Storm immediately responded. The families who were affected were affected hard. Businesses and homes were destroyed, and lives were changed forever. To help families recover, The Kalamazoo Community Foundation invested in After the Storm to be able to hire local case workers who are working with survivors to achieve their goals for recovery. Families are being supported in navigating the long road to new realities through the work that After the Storm can provide.
