Please join us in welcoming Andrea Enyedi to the Open Doors staff.  Along with a passion for community service, Andrea brings 25 years of non-profit leadership experience with an emphasis in literacy. Most recently, Andrea led Kalamazoo Public Library’s early childhood literacy program, Ready to Read, and served on the Board of Directors of Kalamazoo Literacy Council. She is excited about contributing to Open Doors’ work of helping people overcome homelessness.
