April and beyond- Arc Association Saturday Outreach Sign-up and travel size shampoo/conditioner drive

• Westminster Presbyterian Church is preparing and serving food at Arc Association outreach on 2nd Saturdays of the Month.

• NHC will be partnering with them to help serve food and other items on those Saturdays.

• Please, sign-up here to volunteer,

Please, see related information at their website and facebook(which has lots of pictures/comments from various Saturdays--including those below from our visit on 2021-02-20).

• Arc Association is always in a need for travel sized shampoos and conditioners to give out. 

• We will soon be announcing a drive to collect them from NHC congregation but you can also go to any of their Saturday outreach to donate.

February - Arc Association Outreach Visit

We visited the Arc Association outreach with some of the hygiene kits and blankets from NHC.  Arc Association serves food and various donated items to the homeless every Saturday at 1:45pm at Roosvelt Park/Central Station in Detroit . You can just show up on that day/time/place if you want to volunteer. However, it would be good to coordinate with them if you are going with a large group.

Please, see related information at their website and facebook(which has lots of pictures/comments from various Saturdays--including those below from our visit on 2021-02-20).

We are forming a Nepal strategy team to find a mission partner we can work with to help build or renovate churches in the Kosi River valley area of Nepal.  You can learn more about Christianity in Nepal and the Kosi River Valley by reading this document.

January Blanket Project

We are making blankets for the homeless.

December Christmas Gifts for the immigrant families

Various NHC home/small groups prepared Christmas Gifts and Cards for the immigrant families. These gifts and cards were delivered to the families through SWIRC (South West Detroit Immigration and Refugee Center).  Located in The Mercado community center along with Gleaner's food bank and other organizations, SWIRC provides "provides free and low-cost legal services to those who need them most in the Detroit area, with a focus on recent immigrants and asylum seekers."

Thanksgiving Outreach

Our Thanksgiving Outreach involved delivery of 13 baskets to a combination of pastors who moved during pandemic and asylum seeking neighbors in need made possible through the generosity of New Hope Church.

Serving our Neighbor, Sharing our Faith

Migrant Community

Every summer, we seek to serve the community of migrant farmworkers who help put fresh food on our table. For a week, we provide supplemental programs during the summer school provided for migrant children, and seek to share joy at the migrant communities in the evenings.

Nepalese Community

We sense God's call to build relationships with our Nepalese American neighbors through a Saturday afternoon fellowship. Also, we look forward to building a church in the Koshi River Valley in Nepal partner as we find missionary partners.

Neighbors in Need

In the past year, we've made care packages to distribute to our homeless neighbors, done yard work for people needing a hand, and distributed presents at Christmas through partner churches in Detroit.
