WRCNM invites community to support local families this holiday season

Three giving efforts help stock Safe Home and give parents the opportunity to choose holiday gifts for their children.

PETOSKEY, Mich. (Nov. 10, 2026) — A bag of groceries, a gift card, or a dollar at checkout can make a difference for a local family this holiday season. Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM) invites community members to take part in its Harvest Food & Supply Drive, Holiday Family Giving program, and Oleson’s Dollar Drive.

Harvest Food & Supply Drive Donate nonperishable food, household supplies, and personal care items to help stock WRCNM’s Safe Home. These donations help keep food and everyday essentials on hand for survivors and their families staying at Safe Home.

Holiday Family Giving Give a gift card or make a financial contribution to help a local family celebrate the season. Gift cards give parents the flexibility to choose gifts that reflect their children’s interests and needs.

Oleson’s Dollar Drive | Nov. 15–26 Shoppers at Oleson’s Food Stores in Petoskey and Charlevoix can add $1 to their purchase at checkout to support WRCNM’s Safe Home. On Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 4 to 6 p.m., Tim Nixon of Lite 96.3 will broadcast live from Oleson’s in Petoskey while WRCNM collects food and supplies for Safe Home.
