Community Spotlight

This Homeless Awareness Month, we’re celebrating Mike, a dedicated landlord who partners with us to provide safe, clean, and affordable housing, helping those experiencing housing insecurity transition to stability.

A Commitment to Community:
Mike’s partnership is invaluable—he provides well-maintained housing and helps connect tenants with resources to overcome challenges.

Why Mike Works With Us:
"I work with Mid Michigan Community Action because everyone needs a home. I try to provide safe, clean places to live and make a home. . . . I try to work with the whole person, not just the immediate circumstance."

A Message to the Community:
"Homelessness happens every day . . . often due to circumstances beyond control. Everyone needs a hand up, not a handout."

Mike’s compassion and dedication remind us all that creating safe and stable housing is a collective effort. Community participation is vital in ending homelessness!

A huge thank you to the incredible students from CMU’s College of Medicine for their generosity and hard work!
​
These future healthcare professionals held a drive to collect personal needs items for our Clare County Food Pantry and packed boxes for our USDA food box program, which serves individuals aged 60 and older. Your commitment to giving back and supporting our community is inspiring!

We are so grateful for your dedication to making a difference! Thank you, CMU!

If you are interested in volunteering to pack food boxes at our warehouse in Farwell, please contact our Food Programs Manager Tracy at 989-229-0849 or [email protected] or complete an interest form online: https://www.mmcaa.org/volunteering.html
