Safe Home supported through Oleson’s Dollar Drive

 

Oleson’s Food Stores in Petoskey and Charlevoix are hosting a “Dollar Drive” to help support survivors of domestic abuse and their children staying the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan’s Safe Home.  The Oleson Foundation will match the first $1,000 in donations. The “Dollar Drive” takes place Sunday, November 17 through Thanksgiving Day. Funds raised help purchase much-needed perishable items used on a daily basis at the Safe Home, such as milk, bread and eggs.  The Safe Home is operated 24/7 and provides services at no cost to families in northern Michigan seeking safety from domestic abuse. The “Dollar Drive” is taking place at Oleson’s Food Stores, 2000 US-31 North in Petoskey and 112 Antrim Street in Charlevoix. A non-perishable food and supply drive will also take place at the Petoskey Oleson’s store from 4 to 6 p.m., Tuesday, November 26.  The Safe Home Needs List is online at wrcnm.org.

From 7:00PM to 8:30PM

The desolate Lake Superior shoreline between Whitefish Point in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula and the area of Grand Marais, MI, is littered with a multitude of shipwrecks. Some occurred as early as the 1816 wreck of the schooner Invincible, while newer, larger wrecks are deep within the shipping lanes. The 729' SS Edmund Fitzgerald is an extreme example, lying just 17 miles northwest of Whitefish Point. In the early years of commercial ship traffic, those mariners who went down within site of land, or were driven ashore, might have had a better chance to survive the experience. The time of year was critical though, as many a crew survived their ship's demise...just to perish along the barren and frozen coastline. By 1876, the victims of shipwreck in this region likely had better odds. The burgeoning U.S. Life-Saving Service was in action along the Shipwreck Coast, with the construction of 4 new, manned stations. Learn about the stations, equipment and "Surfmen" of the Life-Saving Service along Superior's Shipwreck Coast in this heritage program. Presented by Bruce Lynn, Director of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.
