Below you will find links to information on ways that TC Makers could help during the COVID-19 shutdown. I am sharing this in a google doc below so you have the ability to add any additional information about ways to support our health care workers, people in our community and our state.
If you are like us, sitting still is not easy but being creative and solving problems can make time fly. Please feel free to share this site with other makers in the Grand Traverse Area, and in Michigan.
Feel free to add resources that may be beneficial.
