KVCC Area Hit With Major Mail Theft
Sometime overnight on May 11th, 2021 there was a major string of mail thefts in Kalamazoo, according to one resident who reached out to let the community know over Reddit. This is an issue that is occasionally seen in mailboxes that don t require you to open them with a key and the issue affected an entire area near Kalamazoo Valley Community College. The resident reached out to find information on how they can keep this from re-occuring:
Kvcc area, whole condo community hit with mailboxes left open. Has any other areas around town been affected? Also good home security camera recommendations.I know ring doorbells are good but my hoa (Homeowner s Association) is really picky and I d prefer just a good old fashion camera. Thank you

This summer, Young, 36, will be a first-time college student, compliments of a state program designed for adults like him who ve never attended or completed college.
The Michigan Reconnect program, launched in February by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, allows state residents age 25 and older to attend local community colleges tuition-free, as long as they have a high school diploma or equivalent and didn’t already graduate from college.
It took Young an hour to fill out the application, and a few days later he was accepted to Henry Ford College in Dearborn, a mile from his house.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. â Family Health Center (FHC) is celebrating a pandemic milestone.
Its free, large-scale, community-based vaccination effort has surpassed 5,000 vaccinations.
FHC started the campaign in January to make sure vaccines were easily available to people in Kalamazooâs hardest-hit neighborhoods.
FHC worked with Bronson Healthcare Group on the vaccination effort.
âReaching this remarkable milestone reflects our long-time commitment to bringing quality health care to historically underserved people in our most vulnerable neighborhoods,â said Denise Crawford, FHC President & CEO.
With vaccinations trending downward recently, Bronson and FHC are revisiting their approach. They are now looking to adapt its model to inform the public that vaccines are available to anyone that wants one.
