Our Men’s Center is in need of a few everyday essentials!

With more than 100 men staying with us each night, we’re going through basics like underwear and T-shirts quickly.

Current needs:
• Men’s underwear — sizes M, L, XL & 2X
• Men’s T-shirts — sizes M, L, XL & 2X

We’ve created an Amazon Wish List to make it easy to help. Choose an item from the list and have it shipped directly to Gateway Mission.

Thank you for helping make sure every man who comes through our doors has clean, comfortable essentials.

What a gift it was to have the youth group from Cornerstone Church in Kingsley spend four days serving alongside us last week!

They jumped in wherever they were needed—hosting VBS for the kids at our Women & Children’s Center, helping out at the Gateway Thrift Store, prepping food in our main kitchen, and tackling outdoor projects alongside our maintenance team.

We’re so grateful for the time, energy, and joy they brought to each place they served. They were truly such a pleasure to host, and we loved having them be part of the Gateway Mission family for the week.

Thank you, Cornerstone Church youth, for showing up with willing hands and servant hearts. Your time here made a difference, and we’re grateful for each of you!

Our Women's Center Needs Room could use a little restock! Right now, we’re especially in need of:

• Hair ties
• Ankle socks
• Adult pajamas in all sizes — T-shirts and sweatpants or shorts work too!

These are simple, everyday things, but they’re things the women at our Women & Children’s Center reach for regularly.

If you’re able to help us replenish these items, we’d be so grateful. Thank you for continuing to care for the women who come through our doors.

Donations can be dropped off at the Gateway Mission Women & Children’s Center, 356 Fairbanks Ave. Holland 49423

A will can pass on what you own. A Legacy Love Letter can pass on who you are. This National Make a Will Month, we're encouraging you to think beyond the legal document, your faith, your values, your stories, the things you want the next generation to carry forward.

We have a free guide to help you write your own. And if a gift to Gateway Mission is part of your legacy, we'd be honored to be part of your story. Learn more at https://hopefoundhere.christianwill.org/how-to-pass-on-my-values/

School is out and summer is in full swing which means our child care center is busier than ever! With more kids in our care during the day, we’re going through snacks faster than usual, and we could use your help.

We're reaching out to ask for donations of snacks to help keep our kids fueled, focused, and having fun all summer long.

Every little bit helps! Whether you're able to donate a few items or help spread the word, we appreciate anything you can do to support our group of growing kiddos.

Donations can be dropped off at the Women and Children’s Center. Thank you for caring for our children in this very tangible way!

Christmas in July: Help Us Finish Filling the Toy Closet

We started filling the toy closet at our Women & Children's Center a few weeks ago, and now we're working on finishing it. This closet is what our staff turn to all year... for a birthday, a rough day, or just because a kid needs to know someone's thinking of them. It's also where Christmas gifts come from for the children in our programs.

If you're able to add a gift, we'd love your help finishing what we started. The list is linked below.
