‘GR STRONG': How Our Community Responded To A Crisis [Video]

This hasn't been easy. Staying at home, seeing businesses wrecked. But we'll come out stronger in the end. A tribute to West Michigan innovation in the face of crisis.

The creative folks at SALT Production pieced together this video of Grand Rapids businesses responding and adapting to the CoVid-19 crisis.

“…Life is 10% what happens to [us] and 90% of how [we] react to it.” (Charles R. Swindoll)

 

No one could have predicted that Covid-19 would have been a global pandemic. No one would choose for this to happen; but when it did, the local community in Grand Rapids (and West MI) chose to react in a positive way. Businesses that were once competitors quickly became collaborators. Companies that manufactured one type of product quickly shifted to produce other products that would benefit society as a whole.

During this unique set of circumstances
we were able to lean on each-other to capture the
beautiful stories in our strong GR community.

And we're glad they did.
