The ministries your donations are helping:

Holland Rescue Mission

The Holland Rescue Mission is one place your donations might end up! HRM is a shelter that works to meet the needs of homeless men, women, and children in the West Michigan area. They offer a wide range of Christ-driven services that address the root issues of homelessness to help restore and transform lives.

Mel Trotter Ministries

Some of the donations also go directly to Mel Trotter Ministries and their Code Blue initiative. “Code Blue” is a term used by Mel Trotter to describe the most extreme winter conditions in West Michigan, when temperatures fall significantly and stay below freezing for a period of time. Putting men, women, and children who are exposed to the elements at risk of hypothermia, frost bite, or even death.

Family Promise

Family Promise works to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. Their vision and hope is that every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future. They will be specifically collecting new blankets during this time that can be given to those families as they’re placed in different housing situations.

Safe Families for Children

Safe Families for Children is a part of Bethany Christian Services. When families are in crisis, kids become more vulnerable to neglect and abuse. Through safe families, volunteer host families offer loving care to parents, watching over their children while the parents regain stability. Often these host families aren’t equipped with everything they need to care for children of many different ages. We work to provide warm clothing for these children.
