stormcloud builds community
building community in benzie and beyond.
After completing our first year of operation, we were able to act on one of our core values at Stormcloud, which is giving back to our community.
Four to six times per year, we select a charitable organization that we believe is making a difference in Northern Michigan to share its message with our Stormcloud network and help raise funding for its efforts.
Our community building efforts with non-profit organizations in Northwest Michigan have continued through the years and remains something we are extremely passionate about.
