The Story of Sawyer Community Enrichment
Bringing the Community Together
In the community of K.I. Sawyer, Michigan, Sawyer Community Enrichment has grown into a steady and uplifting presence. Its work reflects an ongoing effort to strengthen unity, provide meaningful activities, and create opportunities for residents of all ages to feel connected and supported. The organization’s guiding idea—to enrich the community through unity—continues to take shape through events, resources, and shared experiences.
One of the organization’s most anticipated events is the annual Sawyer Summer Sizzle. This large community gathering brings together families, children, and neighbors for a full day of activities, including games, bounce houses, a foam pit, batting cages, live music, and vendor booths.

Education and Community Resources

The workshop covers budgeting, credit building, responsible money management, and strategies for recognizing financial scams.
By offering these kinds of resources, the organization demonstrates a commitment to supporting long-term stability and personal growth—reminding the community that enrichment extends beyond celebration and into everyday life skills.
