Servants Center provides high quality, relationship based street outreach and ongoing support services to the mentally ill poor and homeless people in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was organized in 1993 as a result of concern about the drift of churches away from direct relationship based ministry among the poor. The non-profit works to be an ambassador for Jesus Christ as it gives help to the mentally ill homeless.

In addition to direct service to the homeless, Servants Center also provides educational events related to our work throughout Michigan each year.  These events include Sunday preaching, training seminars, and consulting services to help churches develop effective ministries among the poor in their own community - urban, suburban, or rural.

Servants Center is funded through contributions from churches, individuals, corporations, and foundations.

Servants Center founder, Don Tack has written articles about the mentally ill homeless that you can read on our website. These include: 

  1. About the Mentally Ill Homeless

  2. Gods Heart for the Homeless

  3. Biblical Foundations of Poverty Ministry
