McLean and Eakin’s The Giving Tree

November 30, 2023 - December 15, 2023

McLean and Eakin The Giving Tree 2023 500px

McLean and Eakin Booksellers continues its annual holiday tradition, ‘The Giving Tree,’ to give the gift of reading to children and families utilizing Safe Home services provided through Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan.

Bookstore staff decorated The Giving Tree with ornaments representing the ages of children at the Safe Home, a secure and compassionate place where women and their family members can heal from the physical and emotional trauma of domestic abuse.

Shoppers are encouraged to select an ornament from the tree, guiding them to purchase age-appropriate books or gifts to donate. Each contribution will be thoughtfully wrapped in seasonal paper and ribbon by the bookstore’s staff.

Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan Executive Director Gail Kloss, expressed gratitude to McLean and Eakin and the generous community members participating in ‘The Giving Tree’ benefit. Kloss remarked, “The Giving Tree benefit, like the children’s book by the same name, reminds us that life is often difficult and complicated, and what is most important are acts of love and kindness and being there for other people when they need it most.”

The holiday donation program continues through December 15. To learn more about The Giving Tree or to make an online contribution, call the store at (231) 347-1180.

McLean and Eakin Booksellers is located at 307 East Lake Street, Petoskey.
