So thankful for our new wagons from Applegate Lions! They come in so handy to serve our community at our Pop Ups. We are blessed to work with Lori Lentz as one of our faithful volunteers month after month!!

Here we see Cheryl Powell accepting a $200 donation from us. Cheryl represents the Sanilac Food Pantry with Michigan House of Hope. The donation will be used to buy wagons that are used to transport food to and from vehicles and buildings. Rich Cochrill is presenting the check.

Today is Giving Tuesday!

This winter, the most meaningful gift you can give isn’t something you wrap—it’s the support you show your community.

Grassroots organizations across Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac, and Tuscola Counties work every day to feed families, support youth, assist survivors, and strengthen local wellbeing. They rely on volunteers and donations to keep going, especially during the colder months when needs rise.

Whether you choose to give your time or contribute from home, your support helps power food pantries, shelters, youth programs, crisis teams, and more.

💙 This Giving Tuesday, consider lending a hand to a local grassroots organization and help make winter a little brighter for our communities.
