WHO: Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan / Good Samaritan Rescue Mission
WHAT: Rescue Ministries announces the opening of the Overnight Drop-In Center at Good Samaritan Rescue Mission
WHEN: Wednesday, January 14th, 2026, 6 pm to 8 am
WHERE: 713 9th Street, Bay City, MI 48708
HOW: The Overnight Drop-In Center is a coordinated project between Good Samaritan Rescue Mission and the City of Bay City to provide a place of care for those that are chronically homeless.
A newly renovated 2,000 square foot space inside the existing building of Good Samaritan was just completed by Serenus Johnson Construction and is now ready to provide services for our homeless neighbors in need. The new space will accommodate 35 homeless individuals and provide a safe place overnight.
CEO of Rescue Ministries, Dan Streeter states, “We have been working on this new solution to homelessness for over a year with the City of Bay City. We are excited to connect with those that have critical needs while removing barriers that would have kept them from engaging in the past.”
The Center will be open every night at 6pm and people can stay as long as they want until 8 am. They will have access to charging stations, showers, laundry facilities, clothing and hygiene products. For those that are interested, connections will be made to medical, housing, and mental heath services.
