Hello everyone! I'm Teresa Kmetz, and I serve communities across the entire United Way of South Central Michigan region, with my home office in Lansing. I've been part of the United Way network for 25 years, and what has kept me here is a deep belief that real change happens when we work alongside communities to address the challenges they know best. United Way brings people, resources, and organizations together to tackle complex issues. Today, I serve as the Executive Development and Marketing

Family fun in South Central Michigan
I just took my family on a day trip to Lansing. We did Potter Park Zoo in the morning and then El Oasis for lunch before heading home. What are some other can’t miss spots in our region?
