Rebuilding lives means restoring hope. Dignity. Self-respect. Rebuilding lives means putting faces on poverty. Rebuilding lives takes daily, face-to-face contact with adults in crisis. The mission of Ministry with Community is to provide food, daytime shelter and other basic services to central Kalamazoo’s homeless, poor, mentally ill and hard-to-serve adults. Through community cooperation we provide these services in an atmosphere of dignity, hope and unconditional acceptance.
