Thank you Traverse City Record Eagle !

Thank you Record Eagle for sharing this collaboration!
Step Up Northern Michigan is humbled and grateful for the confidence that the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation has placed in our efforts to continue to serve our most vulnerable student population throughout the five county region.
Due to a cut in Federal Title I funding, the S.T.E.P. (Students Transitioning in Education Program) staff hour’s were cut in half. This comes at a time when outreach is very critical to the success of our at-risk student population. This $15,000.00 along with a $15,000.00 donation from Step Up Northern Michigan and $5,000.00 from TCAPS will enable these three employees to return to full time status.
Thank you to the generous donors who continue to support the success of our great community!
A huge thank you goes out to our new friends at Leelanau Outdoor Center for reaching out to us and offering to prepare 30 family sized meals for this Thursday’s Curb side pick up! We appreciate your generosity! http://www.gtrec.org
We have served over 700 people over the last four Thursday’s at our curbside pick up’s at Traverse City High School.
Meet Ashley Giles and Kristal Flateau of KLT. Their office is closing and they donated gift certificates , a brand new microwave furniture, a mini fridge and chairs for our Community Room Project at East Bay Flats. You both have hearts of gold! Thank you!
Thank you to all who dropped off food and household supplies for our neediest of students and families! We were able to send our students home with a care package today!
We are excited to announce that when ever you drop off a bag of quality household clothing/items and mention Step Up Northern Michigan, we will receive a $1.00 credit to be utilized in the store. $5.00 for larger items, such as furniture etc. This will allow us to provide some of our most vulnerable students and families with the opportunity to shop with dignity in the store! Thank you Double Edge!
