MUSKEGON, Michigan — United Way of the Lakeshore has received a $12,000 grant from the Community Foundation for Muskegon County to support its Workforce Stability & Employer Resource Network. The award comes from the Douglas A. Rosen Fund at the Community Foundation.

Christine J. Robere, President & CEO, United Way of the Lakeshore said, “This grant will be used to develop an emergency loan program for workers to access in times of need.” Robere added, “This will let workers get a loan to help out in an emergency such as auto repairs, health care, or housing. One never knows when an emergency will arise. This program will provide a safety net for those times.”
