NOVEMBER SPECIAL GIFTS M.I.S.S.I.O.NM.I.S.S.I.O.N. Inc. in Ann Arbor is a non-profit organization serving homeless people in this area. They originated during the time of Camp Take Notice. They have continued to provide many helpful services to those individuals and families who are homeless. They work with the Delonis Center and have 2 Houses of Hospitality where a few people can stay. This winter they have arranged for day warming centers during the week at St. Mary’s church and Lord of Light Lutheran Church from January through March. While the churches are donating the space and utilities, M.I.S.S.I.O.N. will be providing coffee and snacks, and a paid social worker as well as several volunteers for supervision. Donations they receive are used to provide services and basic necessities to this group of homeless people.Sadly, the needs of our homeless brothers and sisters remain high. Happily, M.I.S.S.I.O.N. continues to seek creative ways to address the needs.If you feel moved to donate to thiscause, please make your check out to Holy Faith and note MISSION on the memo line.
