Families in Life Guides

Ending Poverty through Life Guides.

Our mission of community improvement by providing employment, education, training, and support services is aimed at ending poverty for those that have the desire and commitment to do so. We are certain that, with attendance and persistence, our Life Guides program will help families with the skills and support necessary to obtain better jobs, safer housing, access to education, and financial literacy. The end goal is for families to no longer require government assistance; to be self sufficient, happy, and live a fulfilling life.

Community

People Services

Education

We offer adult education, job skills, fork lift certification, digital skills certifications, and other programs to help you achieve more! All of these programs are FREE!

Job Development

Sometimes finding a job can be tough, and even more so with barriers to entry (extended time away from work, criminal history, or disabilities).

Support Services

Whether it's getting to and from our programs, navigating paper work, finding housing, or just getting some financial coaching, we cover it all so families have a better chance at exiting poverty.

Business Services

None of this would be possible without our community partners.

Customer reviews

What people are saying

We try to keep this a regular stop each time we are in town. We found some great pieces in the clothing and coats. The entrance is often beautifully curator with a welcoming assembly of carefully selected items.

Great concept, People collecting donations are friendly. And the store is usually neat and clean despite the amount of things they stuff in there.

I've been going to this Goodwill for years and since moving from Kalamazoo make it a priority to stop here when I'm passing through the area. I'd say this is the best Goodwill I have been to in the State (I have been to several).
