Great Lakes Dream Center

Great Lakes Dream Center Great Lakes Dream Center
a Faith based Community Center, in Bay City, serving those in need! This is open on Tuesdays from 12-2, and Wednesdays from 6-8pm.

The Great Lakes Dream Center is located at 700 Lafayette Ave in Bay City, MI. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with food, utilities, rent, shut-off notices or evictions, but we do offer a Practical Needs Pantry where we have diapers, cleaning kits, hygiene, paper products, coats, blankets. No appointment is necessary, come and our volunteers to meet your needs. We are also unable to accept clo

thing donations, but we suggest the Good Samaritan Rescue Mission, Cat's Meow, or other resale shops around town. If you need furniture, we work with a group called Furnishing friends. If this is your need, please leave a clear message with your name, your phone number, your need, why you need it, and we will forward it on to Furnishing Friends. We have a church service on Sunday evenings at 6 pm, and you are always welcome! If you are in need of a ride to church, we may be able to pick you up. Please request a ride by Thursday at noon with your name, address, and how many will be with you. Please note that you can message us on facebook or text us at 989-270-7575 and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Let's be honest...

The needs in our community are GROWING!

The number of people we see (and in turn, the number of items we give out) weekly at the Practical Needs Pantry are GROWING!

In May, we gave out 50 packets of laundry detergent sheets, bringing our 2026 total (so far!) to 315!

Will you consider becoming a regular monthly donor so we can stock the items people need?

You can become a partner by setting up your donation at https://www.greatlakesdreamcenter.org/donate
