In Calumet, a building sits at the end of fifth street to provide the community with what they need. Over many years, the copper country angel mission has worked to keep the community fed, warm, and ready to learn. And sends out some joy to families during Christmas. CCAM Board of Directors Member Sherry Middlemis-Brown says the free store has been a place in the copper country where people can find hope and a group of volunteers that know where they’ve been.
And those are the very people that come back, and they work here. Or they donate to us and they say, you know, when I was a kid, my mom used to get us clothes here, you know, that sort of thing. Ah so yeah, it means a lot. And I think that the notoriety from giving tuesday has been huge in making people realize that, yes, we’re here, and this is what we do. And we can help you out if you need it. Or we can be a place to come and volunteer. – Sherry Middlemis-Brown, Board Member, CCAM Board of Directors
