Cherryland Cares Awards $15,230 To Six Nonprofits

At its second-quarter board meeting, the Cherryland Cares board awarded grants to six local nonprofit organizations: Child & Family Services of Northwest Michigan, Habitat for Humanity Grand Traverse Region, Healing Through Hope, Northwest Michigan Supportive Housing, Remain In Touch, and SEEDS Ecology & Education Centers.

In 2024, Cherryland Cares has awarded a total of $30,230 in grants to area nonprofits. The Cherryland Cares board is comprised of five volunteer Cherryland members. The funds distributed by Cherryland Cares are a result of members electing to round up their monthly bills to the nearest dollar. Members can contribute to the Cherryland Cares fund by calling 231-486-9200, signing up through SmartHub, or emailing us at [email protected].
