Ward and Eis Gallery in the heart of downtown Petoskey is hosting their annual ‘Gifts Twice Given’ benefit event. On the Saturdays of December 9 and 16, the gallery will continue a tradition of donating 20% of all sales to support transformative and empowering services provided by Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM).

These two special December Saturdays are an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. When you shop at Ward and Eis Gallery, you are selecting beautiful gifts for your loved ones, and also making a profound difference in the lives of adult and child survivors of abuse and assault who reach out for vital WRCNM services.

Gallery owner Jennifer Eis shared, “Our customers have made ‘Gifts Twice Given’ a part of their holiday traditions because they know that their purchases here provide hope, healing, and vital support to community members and their families who have been impacted by abuse and assault.”

This event is part of Ward and Eis Gallery’s enduring commitment to uplift and assist those in the community who need sustenance, shelter, and support that strengthens the mind, body, and spirit.

WRCNM Executive Director Gail Kloss expressed her gratitude: “For 40 years, Ward and Eis Gallery has been a steadfast friend and supporter of area nonprofits, including Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan. Jennifer Eis and her staff are helping build a more resilient and compassionate community through their ongoing and intentional philanthropy.”

Ward and Eis Gallery is located at 315 East Lake Street in Petoskey. For more information, call the gallery at (231) 347-2750.
