In 2006, she moved to this neighborhood reluctantly, but soon learned the power of asset based community development first hand and joined the HOH staff. She's the coordinator of the Christmas Store and heads up the Circles program. She lives with her husband Tim, and their three children: Alexis, Zach, and Luke.

Laura moved to our neighborhood in 2006 and has called it home ever since. She heads up our mentoring program, Brain Boost, and Explosion. Her love of spreadsheets and to do lists keeps us organized, but she also loves to be active and create shared experiences.

When Ron isn't busy at the East Side Food Pantry, he's spending time visiting neighbors. Although he and his wife Jane live on the other side of Holland, he seems to know the entire neighborhood and always has time for people. If you can't find him around here, check his other favorite place, Reader's World, where his love of learning and supporting local businesses intersect.

Stephanie's excitement and joy naturally draw people in to community! Her drive and determination as a Circles leader was so inspiring that she's now on staff helping facilitate our current Circles cohort, where she's the master of dream boards and SMART goals. Stephanie and her boys also live right above the Community Center, so you might see her mowing the lawn or interacting with neighbors there.
