South Lansing Ministries Inc

South Lansing Ministries began in 2004 in a United Methodist Church to serve those in our community that are economically disadvantaged.  Our vision is "Empowering People and Ending Poverty".  To this end we have an established food pantry under the Greater Lansing Food Bank, a personal needs closet to provide life essentials such as toilet paper, laundry soap, shampoo and deodorant, all items not covered by SNAP benefits.  We also have a children's book corner where every child who comes in gets to select books to take home.  We have free computer usage with internet access for job search, resume writing, and learning to use a Microsoft programs.  We have a volunteer who do minor repairs to computers and teach classes to anyone interested in developing or improving their skill level.  We also do a lot of information and referral for other services in our area, as members of Christian Services.  We grow a community garden each year to supplement food orders with fresh produce.  Community Builders is a program we are running in a local school to assist children with their emotional growth and development and a Breakfast with Books program to engage parents and children to increase literacy. We operate with a community board and  donations from two local businesses.  Please help support South Lansing Ministries by making a donation.
