Today we held our Cash in on Kindness quarterly guest collection initiative presentation. In April, the Conservation Resource Alliance - CRA received $4,427.46 to support their efforts to improve Michigan's waterways, preserve the wilderness, and protect wildlife as part of Earth Month. In May, in honor of National Cancer Research Month, the Leelanau County Cancer Foundation received $4,789.71 to help local cancer patients with expenses such as mortgage and rent payments, utilities, childcare, insurance, and more. Lastly, in recognition of June being National Adopt a Cat Month, Just Cats, Inc. received $5,267.07 to continue their work in re-homing pets when necessary and supporting local shelters and human societies during overflow situations. We want to express our gratitude to all the generous donors who contributed their spare change to make a positive impact in our community.
