The Work of Servants Center is Unduplicated
Servants Center is the only Christian organization in Grand Rapids specifically targeting the homeless mentally ill.
Several good organizations offer shelter and other services to the hundreds of homeless people in Metro Grand Rapids on any given night. But to receive these services, persons must go to these agencies. In contrast, Servants Center goes out on the streets, day and night, searching for people sleeping under bridges and underpasses, in abandoned cars and buildings and in the woods along the Grand River.
Servants Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. All donations are tax deductible. To learn how you can give donations, click on the "Give" tab above.
