BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – WK Kellogg Co today announced a $100,000 donation to the Battle Creek Housing Fund.
Launched with seed funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and local partners, the Battle Creek Housing Fund was created to address a critical housing shortage in the community, estimated at more than 3,000 units, and to expand access to affordable and market-rate housing. The Fund aims to support the development and rehabilitation of 1,000 housing units by 2035, strengthening economic opportunity and stability for local families.
The financial contribution from WK Kellogg Co will help accelerate these efforts, supporting a more vibrant, inclusive housing market in Battle Creek where the company has been rooted for more than a century.
“Battle Creek is more than our headquarters, it’s our home,” said Stacy Flathau, chief corporate affairs officer, WK Kellogg Co. “This investment reflects our deep commitment to the community that shaped our company and our people and continues today. In supporting the Housing Fund, we’re doing our small part to help create opportunities for Battle Creek families to build stability and pursue brighter futures.”
With the investment announced Thursday, WK Kellogg Co says it joins a coalition of public, private and philanthropic partners, including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the City of Battle Creek, Battle Creek Unlimited (BCU) and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) working to strengthen the local housing ecosystem, support workforce growth and ensure Battle Creek remains a place where families can live, work and succeed.
