Reach out to the homeless in Grand Rapids!

If you're passionate about putting an end to poverty, start locally! There's nothing more humbling than turning your heart to those that others may turn up their noses to. I've done some asking around and found some faith-based organizations for the homeless (which is more up my ally). I'm gonna check each of these out when I get the chance. Y'all should too!

Dégagé Ministries: Our Mission: To reflect the love of Christ to all who come through our doors by building relationships and offering programs that foster dignity and respect.

The Other Way Ministries: A Christian ministry that walks alongside Westown urban families as they strive to grow spiritually, relationally and economically.

Mel Trotter: Mel Trotter Ministries exists to demonstrate the compassion of Jesus Christ toward the hungry, homeless and hurting of the Grand Rapids area. A friend of mine spends a lot of time here and has nothing but good things to say about the work they do.

Guiding Light Ministries: Guiding Light Mission exists to provide a healing community 

that allows broken individuals to discover a new life in Christ. We provide food and shelter while equipping men with social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual skills, thereby preparing them to serve.

I'll keep you people posted as I volunteer with these different organizations.

Until next time...
