Whether you have joined us for Mobile Monday before or this will be your first time, we would love to have you with us for our September Mobile Monday!

Monday, September 14, 2026
4:30–6:00 PM
George Olson Recreation Complex
3120 N. Center Rd., Saginaw, MI 48603

This month, we are taking Mobile Monday to George Olson Park, and we have a beautiful space reserved under the pavilion, which is designed to accommodate approximately 100 people. Because there will be plenty of tables available at the park, there should be no need for partners to bring their own tables. We want you to be able to come, connect with families, and focus on the resources and activities you are bringing.

A Special Thank You to Our September Sponsors & Partners

A tremendous thank you to Melody Releford and Molina Healthcare for sponsoring September’s Mobile Monday and helping us continue to create meaningful opportunities for families.

Thank you to Hungry Howie’s for providing pizza for our families and children. Please remember that the pizza has always been promoted as free pizza for up to 50 children. We will prioritize feeding the children before parents and partners.

Thank you to FACT On The Go for sponsoring the essential item bags and take-home meal bags.

Thank you to United Way for providing hygiene kits and Dottie Bags.

We are also excited to welcome Mary Fives back to Mobile Monday to provide youth engagement activities through art.

Thank you to ELGA Credit Union and Financial Plus Credit Union for helping set our students up for success by providing free student checking accounts.

And thank you to Genesis Community Garden for continuing to support our families. We anticipate having some produce available again this month.
