In these unusual times, we are so proud at the kindness and strength of our community.

We want to remind everyone that our free little library and pantry are available 24/7.  Need something new to read?  Grab a book or two.  Have a stack you already read?  Leave them for someone else to enjoy.  Running low on groceries?  We are doing our best to keep the pantry stocked with food staples and canned goods.  Cupboards overflowing?  Leave some non-perishables to help your neighbors in need.

Please check in with elderly residents.  It’s extra important to look out for one another and know there are people around us that care.  Stay safe and calm as precautions are put in place. 

If anyone needs or knows of someone that needs food, we can arrange a porch drop off.  Call (231)547-6961or e-mail treasurer@hayestownshipmi.gov.

And keep washing your hands!!

Do you need some exercise and fresh air?

We can use your help!  There are old cabins at Hayes Township Camp Seagull that need to come down, and with team work and a little muscle, we can get them dismantled and removed.
If you would be willing to help us clean these up over the course of a few weeks, please contact us at (231)547-6961, or e-mail at treasurer@hayestownshipmi.gov.  We will provide lunch and drinks for all participants.

Thank you in advance for your efforts!
