East Jordan middle school National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) students held a food drive during a recent dance to help support the Safe Home Harvest Food and Supply Drive.

The NJHS donation helps offset more than $25,000 in annual food and supply costs at the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan’s Safe Home, the emergency shelter for domestic and sexual abuse survivors and their children in Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet and Otsego counties which is operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

“Our NJHS is about community support,” said the group’s advisor, Cynthia Boss who challenges students to make their community better.   “Our students have been learning that the world is their world to nurture and take care of and that includes our very valuable resource, “people’,” Boss said.
