Big Brothers Big Sisters
Big Brothers Big Sisters (Bigs) continues to receive requests from children and families in our community. We believe this is due to a significant increase in mental and behavioral health issues among our youth. We know that a Mentor is a great asset to young people experiencing periods of stress, depression, anxiety, and even more consequential mental health challenges.
The pandemic wreaked havoc on the social and emotional well-being of our kids. Most of the children in our program were left to fend for themselves during the day without the tools needed to participate in online learning. We continued to stay connected to all of our Littles and supported their families with critical needs and resources. Our Bigs continued to check in on their Littles to provide consistent support and encouragement over the phone until they could meet again in person.
Because we know that isolation and the interruption of normal activities have had visible effects on our youth, we are committed to expanding our capacity to serve more children. This is where you come in.
If everyone reading this made a donation, we can increase our capacity to even more children. As you think about the impact this will make in our community, PLEASE consider making a gift this year to benefit the children in our area. This will provide them with the desperately needed support and guidance they deserve through a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Charlevoix Area Humane Society
Double your giving power on Giving Tuesday, November 29th 2022!
Dear friend of the Charlevoix Area Humane Society, thank you so very much for your past support. We can’t do the critical lifesaving work we do without you!
Now is the time to double your investment in saving the lives of the dogs and cats, and other animals that find their way to the Charlevoix Area Humane Society. Your previous support has helped thousands of animals recover from injuries, illnesses and find forever loving homes. By contributing now, we are able to double your donation, helping twice as much! $10 = $20, $50 = $100, etc.
Why, because the Charlevoix Area Humane Society has joined the National Giving Tuesday Campaign, and we have a limited number of generous supporters who will match donations (as of this publishing date up to $13,700!) on Tuesday, November 29th please help us take advantage of their bighearted offers, and maximize your donation.
Please write “Giving Tuesday” on the memo line of your check, or on November 29th donate online at www.charlevoixhumane.org or call 231-582-6774 to donate with your credit card.
Your tax-deductible gift, in addition to providing ongoing shelter, food and medical care for homeless animals, will make it possible to accomplish critically needed improvements.
We are still actively raising funds to purchase a proper “HVAC” ventilation system. This improved system will help curb airborne viruses and keep shelter animals healthy while they wait to be adopted. This would include a desperately needed upgraded heating and cooling system.
Make your much-needed donations go even further with this matching Giving Tuesday campaign. With your backing, we can continue to make a major impact for worthy animals in urgent need!

Your donations will help us empower women to successfully live an independent life free from substances!
Donations may be made on our website: www.joppahouseministries.org or mailed to 801 State St. – payable to Joppa House Ministries. Please note your donation as ‘Post-Graduate Fund’. Joppa House would like to thank you in advance for your support!

Kiwanis Club of Charlevoix
Kiwanis needs help with buying books for the book vending machine!! We are seeking help from the Charlevoix community to raise funds to stock the book vending machine!
The vending machine is located at the Charlevoix Elementary School and it works on gold tokens. The book vending machine works by rewarding students for good behavior, good grades, good attendance or just being a good human. The gold tokens can be given by the Principal, teachers, lunch ladies, bus drivers, librarians, coaches and others to reward students. Every student will receive a book through the “Student of the Week” program in addition to reward tokens. With the new installation of the machine, our Club is raising additional money in order to give each student a gold token to start! So, this year, we will stock the machine for three books for each student.

Pet of The Week - Hopper!
Hey there, the name's Hopper and the staff here think it's a 'strange thing' that I'm here since I'm such a sweet boy! I may look fierce, but I am truly just a big cuddle butt. I love to play outside and seem to do well on a leash. I arrived here as a stray, so a lot of my past is unknown and the people here apparently don't speak my language so I can't tell them anything. I'm not too bothered by other dogs and I haven't had a chance to interact with cats yet so we aren't sure how I'll do with them. I'm really just looking for a nice couch to curl up on with my new person. I can't wait to meet you!
