Since 1907, Muskegon Rescue Mission has served West Michigan through God's love, providing shelter, food, and clothing to those who need it.
The non-profit has launched the "Change Happens Here Capital Campaign" to renovate the men's shelter, transforming the space to empower guests on their journey out of poverty. Construction has been on-going since the spring, and completion is tenatively scheduled for mid-to-late August.
The shelter will have a tiered system to meet different individual needs, including a residential program wing for long-term support. They hope to have the design maintain adaptability for future challenges and changes, as well as a new pantry.
They have a goal set of raising $1.5 million and have raised $1.2 million so far, but are seeking assistance to raise the final $300,000.
Every dollar given will be doubled thanks to a $150,000 matching gift.
Muskegon Rescue Mission Executive Director Dan Skoglund visited the Mix to discuss the initiative.
