The staff of Which Wich Superior Sandwiches in Petoskey will donate 100% of the tips they collect during the month of May to the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM). 

“We’re local people, we grew up here and we have a strong sense of community,” said Mitch Brown who owns the Petoskey Which Wich sandwich franchise with his wife, Merry.  “Everything that goes in the tip jar during May will be donated to the Women’s Resource Center,” he said.  The staff is more than happy to participate in the fundraiser because it will help out a local non-profit agency, according to Brown.

The Women’s Center has been providing programs and services to women, children and individuals for more than 35 years.  Today, the WRCNM serves five counties and provides critical programs and services to fulfill the pressing and ongoing needs of thousands of individuals every year.

Jan Mancinelli, WRCNM Executive Director said, “We are so grateful to Mitch and Merry Brown and the staff at Which Wich for hosting this fundraiser to benefit the Women’s Center.  This kind of community support ensures the continuation of programs on which people of all ages and at all stages of life have come to rely.”

Those who participate in the tips for charity program at Which Wich this month will help support the WRCNM’s domestic abuse and sexual assault program that provides immediate and ongoing support and advocacy to survivors, emergency shelter, 24-Hour crisis and information line, crisis and ongoing counseling, support groups, Children’s Learning Center, Playgroups for those with young children, Educational and Employment Services, as well as community violence prevention education.
