The Mission Work of Park Church
Park Congregational Church in Grand Rapids is community driven. Park Church Community Missions provide a food distribution truck, School supplies, and clothing for children at Palmer Elementary Public School. During winter months the fellowship hall is used as a warming shelter for the homeless that includes a hot meal, books to read and a movie. These are just a few of the many things Park Church does to support those in need in our local community.

Wellhouse Grand Rapids
The Housing First Model. The solution to homelessness is housing. Wellhouse provides safe, affordable housing to the homeless. They recognize that each individual has their own unique needs and challenges, and that a “one size fits all” approach is often a barrier to housing. Homeless are provided immediate access to a place of their own without requiring treatment or sobriety as a precondition for housing. Residents are supported with treatment options for their recovery and integration into the community. Wellhouse includes people at whatever point they are in their lives, focusing on their strengths and abilities to improve their circumstances. Residents can stay one month or many years depending on their individual situation and needs. Visit their website, wellhousegr.org |
