Communities in Schools Receives $25,800 Donation from 100 Women Who Care – Elk Rapids Area

Communities In Schools of Northwest Michigan (CIS) was selected as our May 2026 recipient. On Tuesday, July 21st, we delivered our collective gift totaling $25,800 which will be used to help ensure that CIS programming continues at participating schools.

In partnership with local public schools, CIS places caring professionals directly in schools, connecting students and families with the relationships, resources, and opportunities they need to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential. Services range from academic and attendance interventions to provision of basic needs like food, hygiene products, and clothing. CIS currently serves students and families in eight districts including four in Antrim County, including Elk Rapids Public Schools.
 

"This generous gift from 100 Women Who Care Elk Rapids is an investment in the
success of local students,” said Amy Burk, Executive Director of Communities In
Schools of Northwest Michigan. Their support helps sustain our partnerships and
reminds students that their community believes in them and is standing beside them
when they need it most.”
