Lively Acres and NeighborFood Market in Empire Township are pleased to host the second annual NeighborFest community gathering Sunday, from 1 to 7 p.m., as a fundraiser for two local non-profit organizations.
This event is an opportunity for neighbors in the greater Empire and Glen Lake community to get together around local food and music, while supporting the Empire Area Community Center (EACC) and LIFT (Leelanau Investing for Teens).
“We love both of these organizations, the EACC is very local for us and they do a great job in our community of supporting families in need,” Jim Lively said “LIFT is this amazing group that makes sure to take care of the young people in our community, who in our rural places, often need help getting around. Lift provides transportation, but more than that brings young people to places and events and activities that really rounds out their lives ... It’s really fun to see two nonprofits partnering up to raise money together.”
