Degage Ministries will be out and about—and very noticeable—as they clean up the neighborhoods near the homeless shelter and reach out to ArtPrize visitors.
The team was created in July and can be recognized by their bright pink shirts. During ArtPrize their mission has become education.
Teams are out and about during the festival talking to visitors about homelessness and how to interact with panhandlers.
Some team members are even Degage patrons.
You’ll notice them picking up and talking to people around the Heartside neighborhood near downtown Grand Rapids.
