Please bring your donations on Thursday, November 18 for the annual Harvest Food and Supply Drive supporting the Safe Home needs. Kim Phelps will be getting a fact sheet on needs, but in the meantime, here are some suggestions:
Safe Home Needs Community members often ask how they can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those utilizing Safe Home services. The Safe Home’s greatest need is supermarket/grocery/gas gift cards and financial contributions of all amounts so that we have the flexibility to act immediately to each of our client’s unique situations as they arise.
Gift Cards Gift cards are most helpful in responding to current shelter needs and give staff the opportunity to purchase perishable items such as milk, eggs and bread. Consider a gift card to Meijer, Walmart, Oleson’s Food Stores, D&W Fresh Market, Dollar General, major gas stations, cell phone gift cards or VISA gift cards.
Financial Contributions Financial contributions are another great option, made by check or online at wrcnm.org, then click on the “GIVE” button. In-Kind Donations
These are the most needed items that help the Safe Home feel like ‘home’:
• Coffee/Creamer
• Boxed/Canned Meals
• Cake/Brownie/Cookie Mixes
• Baking Needs – Cooking Oil, Sugar, etc.
• Paper Towel/Kleenex
• Laundry Detergent
• Hand/Dish Soap
• Women’s Socks/Undergarments (new/in package)
Donations to the Harvest Food and Supply Drive are a meaningful way for community members and groups to make a difference in the lives of domestic abuse survivors and their children utilizing Safe Home services. The annual drive brings in a significant amount of the food and supplies provided to families at the shelter from Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet and Otsego counties.

There will be a live, in-person reception on Saturday, November 6 starting at 12 noon in the Rose Room at the Perry Hotel. There will be live music, a cash bar, and heavy hors d’oeuvres. At 1 p.m. we will show a video produced by Scott Castelein of fall fashions from area retailers. Tickets for this event are limited to 100 and will cost $50 per person.

At the end of the event, there will be a drawing for gift baskets, and for a diamond piece donated by Arlington Jewelers. All ticket holders are eligible to win the diamond. Gift basket raffle tickets are available by contacting a Zonta Club of Petoskey member, or emailing shawncordesosborne.manager@gmail.com.

Zonta Club of Petoskey uses the funds raised at the fashion show to provide supporting grants to area organizations that help women and girls in our area, including a $2,500 scholarship to NCMC for area women seeking to re-enter the workforce, $1000 scholarship to an area high school girl, remodeling a room in the SAFE House and much more. Last year, the club received requests of more than $35,000, and only had $10,000 to give as a result of the show cancellation in 2020 due to COVID.
