Exciting news for Boyne City! The Boyne Area Free Clinic and Good Neighbors Food Pantry of Boyne City have officially launched a $500,000 campaign to repair our shared building and ensure a safe, accessible space to serve our community for years to come.
The clinic’s volunteer medical team provides care to over 1,200 patients annually and the food pantry distributes healthy food to more than 65 local families every week – all at no charge.
To keep our doors open and continue feeding and healing our neighbors, critical building repairs are already underway, including replacing the roof before winter arrives, updating the siding and HVAC system, and completing essential ADA-accessibility upgrades.
Here is where you come in (and how you can double your impact!):
Nearly $400,000 Pledged: Thanks to early supporters, our campaign is already close to the finish line!
$100,000 Matching Grant: The Herrick Foundation is generously matching all donations up to $100,000 to help close the remaining gap.
Every dollar you give today will be doubled, directly supporting our most vulnerable community members.
“Boyne City has always been a compassionate community that wants to help those in need. I’m glad the building will become a permanent debt free building in Boyne City for many years to come,” said Jim White, a lead donor to the project.
