About Us

Ministry with Community is a daytime shelter and resource center in Kalamazoo, Michigan. We are open 365 days per year to anyone who needs our services, including those experiencing homelessness, poverty, substance use disorder, and other crises.

We are open daily from 6:30am – 4:00pm. We provide the following services to anyone who enters our building or reaches out to us. There are no requirements or referrals needed to access our services.

In February 2019, our Anti-racism Committee was formed as an official Committee of the Ministry with Community Board of Directors. This Committee’s goal is to ensure that our practices and services aren’t oppressing or creating barriers for those we serve, employ, and interact with.
