For the past 15 years of Kentwood’s 50-year history, Comcast has been proud to serve the city’s residents and businesses with internet, TV and voice service. Like Kentwood, which prioritizes investing in services that matter most to the community, we also continuously invest in our network as well as new products and services so our customers can rely on the technology in their homes and businesses.
Most recently, we’ve introduced Xfinity Mobile, which combines the nation’s largest 4G LTE network with our expansive national WiFi hotspot network so that you can stay connected virtually everywhere you go in Kentwood, Michigan and across the nation.
We have been a proud supporter of many Kentwood community initiatives, including the city’s 50th anniversary celebration, the Summer Series and the Kentwood-Wyoming Chamber.
In addition to financial support, as a company we are deeply committed to volunteering in the communities where our employees and customers live and work. One example of our focus on volunteerism is our annual Comcast Cares Day where hundreds of thousands of Comcast employees and other community members come together to make change happen across Michigan and the nation. Started in 2001, Comcast Cares Day is Comcast NBCUniversal’s annual celebration of our year-round commitment to service. Comcast Cares day is the largest single-day corporate volunteer event in the nation, with more than 900,000 volunteers having given more than 5 million hours of service at nearly 9,000 project sites since 2001.
Another key philanthropic focus is our commitment to bridging the digital divide. Through the Internet Essentials program, we have connected more than 500,000 low-income families, or more than 2 million Americans, to the power of the Internet in their homes. Internet has the ability to transform lives, strengthen communities, and inspire a new generation of leaders. It levels the playing field by creating greater access to education, health care, employment opportunities, news, information, and entertainment.
As Kentwood continues to grow and thrive, we look forward to being a part of the community’s ongoing success as a reliable technology provider. We’ll keep investing in our network, products and services, and our people who serve Kentwood residents and businesses so that you can continue relying on us for many of your technology needs. We also know that a superior customer experience at every touchpoint – in person, over the phone and online – is important to Kentwood residents and business owners. We’ll continue to work to make customer service our best product.
