Thanks for Giving & Project Christmas
Nov. 16, 2024
Two special fundraisers underway in northern Michigan. First up is Northwestern Michigan College’s Thanks for Giving food drive, where students collect donations of food and dollars to provide 150-200 meal boxes to those facing food security. Fifty of the meals will go to families working with partner organization Big Brothers Big Sisters, while the remaining meals will be distributed to NMC families. Give at nmc.edu/news/2024/10/thanks-for-giving-project.html. Meanwhile, in Cadillac, Project Christmas (pictured) is in its last two weeks of registration (ends Nov. 27) for eligible families in Wexford and Missaukee counties. Project Christmas is a community supported effort to help families and individuals in financial hardship celebrate the holidays. Last year, they served nearly 2,500 people.
