New Video features WWBIC and Our Clients
WWBIC’s work is not solo – that is why we rely on all of our partners to help advance the important work of economic development. We are grateful for our recent partnership with The Kroger Co.

Thanks to the generosity of Kroger and LISC, we are able to share a video featuring some stories of hope and opportunity directly from the clients to help “build it together.”
