Rise & Thrive Coffee Connect Recap | Kalamazoo News

Kick off your week right with the Rise & Thrive Coffee Connect — a vibrant, early-morning networking event for Southwest Michigan business leaders held at the Boys & Girls Club. Designed for those who can’t make evening meetups, this community-driven gathering brought together local entrepreneurs over coffee, conversation, and sustainability (bring your own mug!). Hosted by Southwest Michigan First and The Chamber with support from Kellogg Community Credit Union, it’s all about building pride, fostering connections, and strengthening the regional business ecosystem. With overflow parking on Vine Street and other local events like the Kalamazoo Farmers Market happening that day, it’s clear: Southwest Michigan is buzzing with opportunity — and you’re invited to be part of it.
