Homeless Ministry
We serve over 12,000 meals a year through our justice & compassion ministries. Many to the homeless and underfed. The food, as much as it's needed is only the occasion for the greater gift of community and relationship shared by those who serve and those who receive. In reality, we all do a little of each.
Mobile Homeless Ministry in Ann Arbor
Contact: Lisa Aunins & Mary Ann Trainor
The Mobile Homeless Ministry's goal is to provide friendship and care for individuals living on the streets of Ann Arbor. Each Friday we head out to various locations in Ann Arbor with prepacked meal bags as well as a hot meal. We spend time getting to know our homeless friends, providing other assistance as we are able, including prayer for those who ask. 80-120 are served each week.We also host festive meals at the church over the holidays for our homeless guests.

Every third Sunday of the month, Vineyard goes to Ypsilanti to prepare and serve an early evening meal to people in need at the Hope Center located at 518 Harriet St. Ypsilanti, MI 48197. Our goal is to provide the guests with high quality food and service, showing God's love in a practical way. There are two crews needed (cooking crew and serving crew). The cooking crew serves from 2-4pm. The serving crew serves from 3:45-5:45pm. Contact Joy Lange for any questions or if you would like to get involved.
