Here is info for food type gifts for the Karinens.  I'm sure financial support is also needed.  There are collection points for money gifts at the MTU Credit Union and both Cross Country Sports stores.

Hello Friends of the Karinen Family:
Many have asked how they can provide help and support to the Karinen family and have already dropped off food.  Thanks.  I would like to serve as a coordination point for the food so that we make sure that we keep them supplied for some time and don't overwhelm them with too much too fast.
What can you bring?
Hot or cold dishes - lunch type food or dinner
Groceries - easy to prepare food/breakfast eats/fruit/snacks
Grocery store gift certificates
Other things to consider:
Send food in containers that you don't want back or disposable
Although not essential - things that could be frozen - they don't have a large freezer but this time of year - outside in a cooler or box works!
How to get it to them:
You can drop at my house - (withheld for archive)  Annette who works for Red Cross has graciously agreed to help us with transportation as she is the Karinen's neighbor in (withheld for archive).
Please let me know if you are delivering food by either calling or emailing.  Annette is on vacation - so she won't be keeping regular hours at the Red Cross office although she said that her office staff would put anything in the fridge as needed and she will come in when needed.  However, we will need to know if things need to be picked up and brought to the Karinen home.
Questions:
Call me - Betsy (withheld for archive).
I know that the Karinen's have already been touched by the kindness of the community and are appreciative.
