MARQUETTE, MI— The Marquette Women’s Center/Harbor House is getting a $5,000 donation from the local Meijer store.
The money comes through the “Meijer Team Gives” fall donation program. Earlier this fall, Meijer team members in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin formed a committee at each store and distribution facility to nominate a local nonprofit organization or two for consideration of a donation. Each store and distribution facility chose to award one local nonprofit $10,000 or two nonprofits $5,000 apiece.
Women’s Center Executive Director Beth Casady says the money will be used for food and supplies for its emergency shelter, Harbor House, for victims of domestic and sexual violence.
