Novi’s Caring Community
As the holidays approach, we wanted to highlight Novi’s Caring Community through the Novi Public Library’s webpage. The site includes information from a variety of organizations and businesses that provide services to the community. There are convenient drop down menus to find services that fit a variety of needs. If you or someone you know could benefit from support groups, utility assistance, transportation, senior resources, housing, parenting assistance, home repair, food, or clothing to name a few, please take a look at the site. https://www.novilibrary.org/services/novi-s-caring-community

NOVI EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
The Novi Educational has been able to do so many great things in 2022 for our students and teachers. Outdoor learning spaces, teacher grants and student scholarships all because of YOU!
This school year the NEF received a record $84,000 in grant applications. We have been fortunate to fund $42,500 of those grants and with your help, we can make the rest a reality!
Last Thursday was a day of thanks and today, Giving Tuesday, is a great opportunity to give back and double your impact. For Giving Tuesday Community Financial Credit Union has generously donated a $4,500 matching grant. If you donate $25 it turns into $50, a $50 donation becomes $100....
