Organizations for Mental Health, Victim Advocacy, and Gun Violence Prevention
A message from the Capital Region Community Foundation and the United Way of South Central Michigan:
We join our entire community in deep sorrow for the MSU victims and their families and friends in the wake of this profound tragedy. Our community has now found itself on a growing list of communities forever scarred by a mass shooting. We are all grieving that fact.
As our society looks for solutions to this senseless and ever-mounting problem, there is something each one of us can do. Volunteer and donate to organizations on the front lines in our community that support and advocate for victims of violence, support people struggling with mental illness, and provide programs that work to prevent gun violence and make our communities safer:
