A lot of us want to help when we see someone who is unhoused, but in the moment we do not always know what to give.

We are putting together care bags for folks to keep in their cars and hand out when they see someone in need.

Each bag has first aid, snacks, hand warmers, wet wipes, sunscreen, and hygiene items.

Suggested donation is $10 to $20.

This is an easy way to be ready to help instead of feeling stuck or looking away.

Come by our office and grab a few
809 Center st, Lansing
Open Mon-Fri 12-5 & Wednesday we stay open until 8!

Have you heard of our food rescue held at our drop-in center every Friday at 10 a.m.?
We receive a donation from a local grocer every week and give it to our community members.
We never have an idea of how much food will be donated, but our goal is always to distribute it all.
We are located at 809 Center st.

Thank you, and enjoy the weekend! ❤️
