Charitable Union CEO,
Teresa Allen said “Things
will look a bit different this
year, compared to years
past.”
“Our Battle Creek events
will be by appointment only,
so we can limit the number of
individuals shopping. We are
not able to offer personal
shoppers to assist families,
instead our volunteers will be
stationed throughout the
stores to answer questions,”
Allen said. Families who
wish to make an appointment
can call the office at (269)
964-7234.
Who can participate in
these events? Families living
in Calhoun County, with chil-
dren in grades Kindergarten
through 12, who have an
active Bridge/Medicaid/WIC
card. Parents will need to
bring photo id and their
Bridge/Medicaid/WIC card
to the event.
Would you like to volun-
teer? These events stretch the
limited staff and many of the
volunteers who are preparing
for back to school them-
selves. If you are available to
help in August, you can email
Tammy@CharitableUnion.
