Support Services | Community Services

Welcome to Community Services


Our community services are enhancement services that allow an individual to not only live independently, but to do so successfully. Our staff will assist individuals in their own environment with budgeting, medication management, transportation and similar needs. To ensure comprehensive services, our staff works with family, friends, and other service providers as an integral part of the overall service plan. 

Our services include assistance for Supported Independent Living for individuals who desire more independent community living options but still receive some level of support. 

Hope Network Ministries creates opportunities for worship both directly, within our residential facilities, and indirectly, by linking individuals with disabilities or disadvantages to local faith communities of their choice where their gifts and talents can be used to serve the Body.

United Way Small Business Challenge
12/20/2011
Heart of West Michigan United Way invites you to take on the Small Business Challenge, created through a generous matching grant of $100,000 from the Steelcase Foundation. Any new United Way gift of $1,000 or more from a workplace of 100 or less employees will be matched up to a total of $100,000 by the end of March 2012.
 
Small businesses are the heart of most communities, yet during the 2010 United Way Campaign small businesses of 100 employees or less made up only 11.5% of total campaign dollars. This campaign year, United Way is hoping to change that with the Small Business Challenge.
