Midland's Open Door Crisis Shelters and Soup Kitchen

The life-transforming power of the gospel of Christ calls us to walk with the homeless, hungry and hurting; modeling God’s love through biblical hospitality and supportive services.

Did you know that our 8th grade friends from St. Brigid’s celebrated their last day of school by spending the day with us?

They also collected a ton of personal care products and snacks for us before serving lunch in the soup kitchen. Well done, and best wishes on your next big journey - high school!

Did you know that today is World Hunger Day?

For most of us, it’s just another day on the calendar, but for many people around the globe, it’s a reminder that nothing is guaranteed: not even our next meal.

That’s not the case here in Midland. We are so grateful to our community who give so generously so no one has to go hungry. Special thanks to our friends from Sanford UMC who are in the kitchen with us today - many hands make light work.

Com and join us for breakfast for lunch from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm today - we’re having eggs, biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit, fresh salad, and more. You can pick up a sack lunch for dinner, and there’s plenty of extras on our giveaway table, too.

We’d love to see you here!

Thank you to our friends from Roquette Restricted for giving our main campus some much-needed love last week!

We can’t remember the last time we saw a group move through tasks so quickly - and we are so pleased with the results. Thank you so much for making our campus hospitable for our guests and our volunteers!

It’s starting to feel like summer!

Thank you to our friends from Boy Scouts of America and their families for putting in some hard work over at the women and children’s center to get it ready for the season. Our grounds are looking great, and our women and children thank you for your kindness!

Office hours update!

While our shelters will always be open 24 hours day, 7 days a week, our administrative office in "the back house" at 409 Indian St. will be switching to summer hours after Memorial Day. After next Monday, the office will close at 4 pm to allow our office volunteers and staff members more time with their families and more flexibility with their schedules while the Michigan weather plays nice.

Phone calls after hours will continue to be forwarded to the staff member on shift at the men's shelter, and they are always happy to help.

Thank you for your understanding!

HELP!! We are in a sugar crisis!!

Do you see those sad empty spaces? That’s where our supply of sugar, canned fruits, and snacks for both shelters and the soup kitchen is usually found, but we are totally out of many of our pantry staples right now.

Would you be willing to help us out by picking up some of our most urgent needs at the grocery store this week?

We’re looking for:

- white sugar
- jams and jellies
- canned fruit
- sweet and salty snacks for sack lunches

Donations can be dropped off at the soup kitchen location at 412 W Buttles St between 8 am and 8 pm - although we do ask that you avoid donating between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm when we serve lunch because parking space is limited.

Thank you for giving!

What a weekend!

Thank you to everyone who gave to the annual Stamp Out Hunger Drive hosted by the post office - your food goes to good use because it’s shared between a few different local nonprofits, including the Open Door. In total, our portion from the day was nearly 1900 lbs of food. Nearly a ton!!

Thank you for helping us keep our neighbors fed this summer!
