On Saturday June 14, 2014, 34 volunteers from Fruitport and Sullivan Township collected tires at no cost to residents from Moorland, Sullivan, Ravenna, and Egelston. This collection day was part of a series of dates paid for by a grant obtained by the before mentioned townships. Sullivan Township Volunteers and Elected Officials were joined by the Fruitport National Honors Society and Ben Gillette, Candidate for County Commission, for the event.

One student commented, “The Tire collection was hot, difficult, heavy, and dirty work.  It also was so much fun!  We met a lot of really cool and genuine people, and it was a great experience.”
