IOC's 5th Birthday Party!
This celebration marks five years of Inclusive Ottawa County, which began with concerned neighbors gathering at Hagar Park and has grown into an established nonprofit providing free resources with support from neighbors, friends, and family. Hosted as the monthly Food&Fun event, it features food, drinks, and cake, along with games for neighbors to enjoy. A fundraising area will be set up in the former library. Food is free, with a suggested donation of $5 per family. Although the organization may be moving out of the building known as The Village, the community is The Village, and the work continues through free mutual aid events and by uplifting progressive organizations, neighbors, and small businesses. Thank you for the continued support that makes this work possible.
