Community Action House is excited to celebrate Black History Month by partnering with our friends at I AM Academy! From February 1st through February 28th, 10% of Resale Store sales will support their efforts to empower Black and multiracial youth to see their potential, experience joy, become confident leaders, and drive positive change.

Celebrated each year in February, Black History Month honors the rich histories, cultures, and achievements of Black communities across the United States. This month of celebration highlights the impact of Black communities, and serves as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of our neighbors’ experiences and triumphs, while fostering greater appreciation and connection with our neighbors. 

At Action House, we're proud to serve and celebrate all of our neighbors. We strive to build a culture, within our organization and our broader community, where all of our neighbors experience a profound sense of belonging. Our vision of a stronger, healthier community is one that supports, celebrates, and equally values all of its members.

In 2022, our team began a new partnership with I AM Academy to support their Mobile Food Pantry program. Through the partnership, I AM Academy secures food donations to stock their Mobile Food Pantry, and our team provides support by offering our Logistics trucks and warehouse space for them to transport and process food donations. Each month, I AM Academy’s Mobile Food Pantry serves over 150 families, connecting them with the nourishment they need to build a stronger, healthier future. 

Supporting local businesses during Black History Month is a meaningful way to celebrate the contributions of the Black community and honor their histories. We are so fortunate here in Holland to have a thriving network of passionate, creative neighbors working to strengthen our community through their businesses. Your support during this month—and beyond—empowers those neighbors and celebrates community!
