Generous Donors and Community Interest Maintains the Mills
Through the Years—and Going Forward

The support of donors made the availability of all three levels of Mills Community House a reality. Endowment and operating funds have been in place for a number of years and originally made it possible to add an elevator and the meeting space with a full kitchen in the lower level. The establishment of the Mills Renovation Fund in 2005 brought in several leadership gifts for future building improvements.

In 2014, a new stair tower providing improved accessibility and safety, along with a spacious parking lot, were added.  Areas of the library were also renovated.  While rental fees support operating expenses, future renovations to improve safety, functionality, and energy efficiency will only be possible with additional donations.   

Whether you are a year-around or seasonal resident, or a visitor who vacations in our area, please consider making a donation. Your gift will support "The Mills" as the primary community center for cultural activities, educational programs, and gatherings in Benzie County.  Please use the printable form or the Donation button (PayPal secure link) shown above. The Mills Community House Association is a 501(c) 3 organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

To learn more about the Mills Community House or to offer your input on how this landmark in Benzie County history can continue to serve the community, call 231-882-0591 or contact millscommhouse@gmail.com.

ENDOWMENT FUND INFORMATION


Land Acknowledgement
​Benzie county occupies the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of Anishinabek people. The Mills Community house recognizes the Anishinabek of the Three Fires Confederacy, the Odawa (Ottawa), Ojibwa (Chippewa), and Bode'wadmi (Potawatomi); historic Indigenous communities in Michigan; and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. Benzie County occupies land ceded in the treaty of 1855. We give thanks to the Anishinabek as the caretakers of the Earth and for their relationship to the land.
