Lansing’s City Rescue Mission is racing against time and budget to finish its new downtown hub, packed with private showers and laundry—but still needs $3.5 million to complete it. A critical elevator upgrade is delaying a new 100-bed women’s dorm, while soaring homelessness numbers are stretching their resources thin. From feeding hundreds to managing hygiene supplies, they’re relying on donations to keep up. Yet hope is rising: the city’s Nova Lansing initiative offers pod-style housing with wraparound services, and stronger agency partnerships are boosting efficiency. Amid the hurdles, the mission remains steadfast—treating every guest with dignity, turning their new space into more than shelter, but a lifeline for those in need.

Bath Township rallied together this past Sunday at James Couzens Memorial Park for their annual Back to School Picnic — a free, no-questions-asked drop-off of school supplies for every kid in need. Started in 2016 by Bath United Methodist Church and local partners, the event breaks down financial barriers so kids can start the year ready to learn — no matter where they live. Pastor Allie Williams emphasized that support isn’t limited to Bath’s borders, welcoming families from surrounding areas too. It’s a powerful reminder of what happens when neighbors lift each other up — and a huge thanks to everyone who made it happen.
