Over $9K Invested In Our Community Through Inaugural Kindling Community Campaign

Kindling Community winners

Over $9K invested in our community.

The Fire Station Cannabis Company (TFS) works diligently throughout the year to support causes, events, and organizations that operate within communities it serves across the Upper Peninsula. As a local organization, The Fire Station understands the strong community values that resonate throughout the Upper Peninsula.

How our campaign worked

In mid-February, The Fire Station kicked off its first ever Kindling Community campaign, where customers and the community at large were invited to vote for their favorite non-profits across the U.P. to receive a donation from TFS. Non-profits were identified by TFS staff as being aligned with one or more of the organization’s core values. There were up to three non-profit organizations who participated in the campaign across all six of the U.P. counties where The Fire Station operates, for a total of 15 participating organizations.

The local impact of our efforts

The 501(c)(3) organizations with the most votes from each county received $1,000, and the organization with the second most votes was awarded $500 each. For the counties that had three participating non-profits, the third place organization received $250. In total, The Fire Station gave out $9,725 in donations through its spring 2024 Kindling Community campaign.

We understand that no one knows our U.P. communities better than the people living in them. We decided to take a portion of our outreach funds and allow the communities to tell us which organizations would benefit the most from our support.
“We’re beyond thrilled to grow our presence in Marquette County and to share a building with Ralph’s. We look forward to opening our store this month, and hosting a grand opening with Ralph's in the spring." - Owners Stosh Wasik and Logan Stauber

Room at the Inn was founded in 2007 by a small number of churches organized by Helen McCormick. It was Helen who saw the need for emergency shelter in our community and dedicated herself to ensuring that Room at the Inn establish itself as an private non-profit organization that provides food, shelter, and assistance to those individuals transitioning out of homelessness. For 14 years Room at the Inn operated as a rotating shelter between local churches until 2020, where we established Marquette’s first ever permanent emergency homeless shelter.
In February of 2019 Room at the Inn started an initiative to provide a permanent shelter in Downtown Marquette, that would replace our rotating shelter model through local churches. After raising the funds necessary, gaining community support, and obtaining the necessary permits to complete the project, Room at the Inn successfully opened the doors to our new shelter on December 24th 2020.
We remodeled the three-bedroom apartment above our Warming Center into a 30-bed Emergency Shelter, which now provides 24/7 shelter access. Today we are proud to say we provide all of our services under one roof, and continue to address the issue of homelessness within our community with vigor, enthusiasm, and hope!

We are a local non-profit organization run and staffed by your neighbors.  We make decisions on caring for homeless, unwanted, abandoned and abused domestic animals based on what we believe is best for them.  We have no affiliation with any larger group and we receive no funding from any larger group that might influence our decisions or actions.

We advocate only for the animals in our care to help them find their forever home with you.

UPAWS does not receive operating funds from any governmental agency. We rely on donations from our neighbors and friends to make our efforts possible.  We save consistently 98% of the animals who come to us – which is an award-winning success story.   We want to educate everyone on proper animal care so there soon won’t be the three percent who come to us too sick or wounded to be saved.  It’s your support that makes this dream possible.
