November Coffee Hour

This year, Bloom Credit Union, Amplify GR and the People First Economy’s Local First program are partnering for this month's Local First regular Coffee Hour event, powered by Bloom Credit Union. Our Coffee Hour events will now offer an opportunity for businesses participating in services from both Amplify and Local First to mix during the month of November. And you’re invited! You’re guaranteed to have great, local coffee and food and we encourage you to come create organic community connection with participating businesses.

A special for this month only: the first 10 businesses who utilize Amplify's services, register, and attend the event will receive a free year of Local First Membership!

What is Amplify? Prosperity starts with place. Using a multi-generational lens, Amplify GR works in defined neighborhoods together with neighbors, community partners and businesses to preserve and widen pathways that create greater opportunity for neighbors to participate in and benefit from community growth.

Host Highlight: Kzoo Station is the right place to find the resources and connections for your food idea or business to thrive. Our goal is to offer you a space to learn, test your ideas, and grow your business. We understand the many barriers a start-up food business may face when establishing itself under state and county regulations, and we are here for you!

Safety expectations: We’d like to continue meeting monthly, in-person for our Coffee Hour events. To safely do so, event attendees are expected to adhere to current CDC recommendations. Masks are optional and we have developed a sticker system to identify attendees' comfort levels. Changes to this protocol will be made when/if necessary.
