GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Mel Trotter Ministries has been helping the unhoused people in and around Grand Rapids for 125 years and they intend to celebrate that milestone the only way they know how: helping the unhoused people in and around Grand Rapids.
Here's where you come in—
The big day is February 24 and, instead of a birthday party, they're hosting a Donation Drop-Off Day.
Instead of treats and cake, they'd like donations of hygiene items.
Instead of presents, they'd like clothing and shoes— not for themselves; for the people they serve.
Items Needed
- Men’s T-Shirts: Sizes S-3XL
- Underwear, Men, Women, Children: All Sizes
- Individually Wrapped Toothbrushes for Adults
- Antiperspirant Deodorant
- Tennis Shoes, Sizes 9-14
- Twin Sheets
- Shaving Cream & Razors
If you'd like to help, bring items to their front door at 225 Commerce Ave SW in Grand Rapids from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Staff and volunteers will help you unload.
