People in the Grand Rapids area can gather for a Thanksgiving meal. The dinner is for those experiencing homelessness or anyone who is looking for fellowship.

With snow and colder temperatures moving in this week, the City of Grand Rapids has announced a partnership with Mel Trotter to further help those experiencing homelessness during the winter months.

As it gets colder and the snow starts to fall, a coalition of community, nonprofit and business leaders are working together to provide safe emergency shelter for residents of the Heartside neighborhood who are experiencing homelessness.

With the first big snow hitting Grand Rapids this week, police are teaming up with Mel Trotter Ministries to make sure the city's homeless population have a warm place to stay this winter.

Mel Trotter Ministries provides shelter, food, clothing, education and much more for the "hungry, homeless and hurting of Grand Rapids". Now, thanks to the opening of a new Day Center and renovated Food Pantry this week, Mel Trotter will be able to provide even more services in downtown Grand Rapids.
