Harvest Food and Supply Drive

The Safe Home is operated 24/7 by Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM). It is a caring, secure and supportive place to seek refuge from domestic abuse when home is not a safe place to live.

The Harvest Food and Supply Drive is one of the most significant ways for community members and groups to support survivors and their family members utilizing these vital services.

Grocery or supermarket gift card donations and financial contributions help Safe Home staff purchase exactly what is needed at any given time. Your donations help the Safe Home “feel” like home for many families in Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, and Otsego counties.

Learn more about supporting the Safe Home Harvest Food and Supply Drive by calling (231) 347-0082.

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.
