Each year, local artist Jan Mayer creates Christmas cards for Clarkston United Methodist Church’s Emergency Assistance fund, which helps Clarkston residents who have eviction or shut-off notices to stay in their homes. So far this year, Clarkston UMC has given $25,000 to 110 families. Cards are available for purchase at the church, 6600 Waldon Road in the main office, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The cost is $15 for a pack of 10. All proceeds support the Emergency Assistance fund. For more information, call 248-625-1611. Photo provided
