A Note from the Local First Program Manager Dear fellow Localist, When I first sat down to draft this letter, it was early March. I don’t need to point out how much has changed since then, but one thing remains the same: putting local first means putting people first. And our local business community needs us now, more than ever. The strength of our economy depends on keeping our dollars here, in West Michigan. As you (safely) visit the places in this book, I encourage you to thank the establishments for being Local First members. It’s because of them that Local First can continue our work. Are you visiting? Check out our restaurants, retail, arts, and entertainment. Are your new to Michigan? Use this book to find your new dentist, vet office, hairdresser, and more. Are you a business? Localize your supply chain with the companies listed here – or become a member and be listed alongside them! Communities that have a high percentage of local ownership are stronger by nearly every economic indicator. When you support local businesses, your dollars stay in the community and go towards equitable employment, ethical business standards, and healthier neighborhoods. Not only that, communities with Local First campaigns also experience higher revenue growth. If you want to get involved, please reach out to [email protected].

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. “At its heart, our movement for local living economies is about love. Our love of place, our love of life, give us the courage to protect what we care about most—children, communities, animals, nature, all of life on our beautiful planet Earth.” Judy Wicks 5 WHY BUY LOCAL?

    THE STRENGTH OF A PEOPLE. Jewish Federation THE POWERTHE OF S CTRENGTHOMMUNITY. OF A PEOPLE. Jewish FedOF GRANDerat RAPIDionS THE POWER OF COMMUNITY. OF GRAND RAPIDS JUNE 2021 New Holocaust Memorial at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park Generously Given by The Pestka Family The Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids has received a generous gift from the Pestka Family in memory of their father Henry, a Holocaust survivor, and the millions of other Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Henry Pestka was born in Poland, and deported to the Auschwitz death camp as a young man. Henry managed to escape during a death march, and joined the Free French in the fight against the Nazis. After the war ended, Henry immigrated to the United States and settled in Grand Rapids. The gift will be used to establish the first Holocaust memorial in Grand Rapids, to be located at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. The selected sculpture, by Israeli artist Ariel Schlesinger, is titled Ways to Say Goodbye. It is an exceptional work of contemporary sculpture dealing with themes of profound loss and grief, and will serve to memorialize the millions who perished in the Holocaust and the Holocaust survivors of Western Michigan. About the Artist Ariel Schlesinger (b. 1980, Jerusalem) reveals the poetry, poignancy and potential of everyday things. Through precise interventions, creative engineering and trompe l’oeil, Ariel Schlesinger’s work challenges our perceptions and encourages us to look at the familiar in new ways. Ariel Schlesinger has lived and worked in many parts of the world, including the United WWW.JEWISHGRANDRAPIDS.ORG States, Great Britain, Mexico and Germany.
