Our History

A group of manufacturers in Grand Rapids, Michigan, spearheaded by Mark Peters, CEO of Butterball Farms, came together originally to discuss child care issues in the workplace and how a solution to child care would help productivity and reduce turnover. The result was the formation of an organization named The Source.

 

The goal of the Source was to return value to the employer partners in tangible ways. The methods used by its staff range from finding housing solutions for displaced employees, transportation solutions for employees who have problems getting to work, and access to a greater range of training opportunities; financial counseling for employees, ESL classes and Spanish classes.

 

The Source brings together community, government, and private interests to leverage existing assets in order to strengthen the community’s workforce.
