First Fridays was created to give the community easy ways to get involved in helping students succeed.  Each month, Kalamazoo Communities In Schools chooses an item that can be donated or an event that needs volunteers as its community opportunity.  Postcards are mailed each month to announce the featured opportunity. By participating in this program, you can help address some of the most fundamental needs that can impact the ability of students to successfully learn and grow.

Where to donate items:

• Kalamazoo Public Schools Administration Building (1220 Howard)
• National City - Crosstown location
• National City - Downtown location
• National City - Gull Road location
• National City - Oakland location
• National City - Stadium Drive location
• National City - West Main location

During the summer months of June, July and August, there will be no First Fridays collection.  Please drop any donations you would like to make during the summer off at the KCIS office, 125 W. Exchange Place, and we will ensure they reach the students who need them the most.
