GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Like so many of us in West Michigan, Sage Groves found herself in a brand new town when she moved to Grand Rapids in 2024. And like so many of us, Groves didn’t really know anyone in her new city and felt a little isolated. But unlike so many of us, she decided to do something about it.
