The Response
Rotating Season
ICRH provides a seasonal, rotating shelter from November through mid-April. Each week a different church hosts and welcomes ICRH guests by serving an evening meal and providing a warm, safe place to sleep. Along with the host sites, other churches and organizations serve as partners to provide support to the host site.
During the rotating shelter season the day shelter is open from 8am to 6:30pm. We provide lunch, laundry capabilities, shower facilities, computer access, Wi-Fi, locked storage for personal items, a play area for children, use of our address to receive mail, and more. Please see below for the full list of services we offer here at ICRH.

The Need
Largely invisible to most citizens, the need for shelter and connection to community resources in Isabella County is very real.
