Celebrating Mary Jamieson: The Mary Jamieson Down Payment Assistance Fund

This last decade of work would not have been possible without Mary’s joy, generosity, and guidance. She lived with us in a state of possibility. She knew the value of core city Muskegon--her home--and that knowledge guided how she lived. To honor and celebrate Mary’s legacy, Community enCompass is establishing the Mary Jamieson Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Fund for families eligible to purchase an EACH house.

Keeping Up with "Fresh Conversations"

Keeping Up with "Fresh Conversations"

Cindy, AmeriCorps Team Member with Community enCompass, is now facilitating a limited, socially distant version of a “food for health” class called “Fresh Conversations” for residents of Jefferson Towers.

The residents’ reasons for attending the class are many: some come to learn about food as medicine, some to get new recipes and exchange tips, some for the safe socializing with a “support group” feel.
