Assistance from churches in Detroit and Wayne County Michigan.

Soup kitchens, child care centers, resale shops, free food and emergency financial help are some of the types of assistance that may be provided by a church in Wayne County. There are parishes scattered across the city of Detroit as well as the county. When in a crisis, or if the applicant is homeless or living in poverty, a church may offer some form of support. Find help from a church in Wayne County MI.

What may be available includes the following. But each organization has their own specific services. Volunteers try to hold fundraisers, or reach out for donations to the public, to offer as much help in Wayne County as possible. But resources are limited.

  • Housing needs, including rent, heating and energy bills, and furniture for a new apartment. Or shelters for the homeless.
  • Soup kitchens including from St. Leo Catholic Church at 4860 15th Street, Detroit, MI 48208, (313) 897-6565.
  • Free holiday meals, Christmas toys, and Easter baskets.
  • After school child and day care centers manned by volunteers of a local parish.
  • Free food pantries with groceries and hot meals in Detroit MI.
  • Applications to government benefits such as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program.

More information on these various services is available below. Any help provided at a church is at their discretion. Since funds are limited, especially for rent or other bills, many members of the community (even those that are desperate) will need to be turned away.

Housing from churches in Detroit MI area

Churches operate emergency as well as overnight shelters in the city of Detroit. Pilgrim Church (1435 Brainard, Detroit, MI 48208, dial (313) 832-0007) and their I Am My Bother's Keeper service combines housing and food from the “Fed and Bed Program”. There are also other shelters available across the county. Some of them are only open during the November to March time-frame when the weather gets very hold. So those locations can keep the homeless safe and secure, and this is what a Warming Center does. Or look here for other free temporary housing for the homeless.

The currently homeless, or people close to it as they are behind on their rent or utilities, can use drop-in-centers and other services. Locations such as Spirit of Hope (1519 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Detroit, MI 48208). Call ((313) 964-3113. The center also helps the homeless and people on the bring of it. Not only can the drop-in-centers provide food, sleeping bags, or cold-weather gear such as hats, but additional help is given too.

 

 

 

Most of this is first come and served, and based on fund-raisers that the community holds. This is what may allow a church to help pay a past due heating bill or rent.
