It all started 15 years ago when staff members were talking about opportunities to be of service to the Battle Creek community. For those who need it most. That's when a morning show personality from 104.9 said “Let’s do a roof sit to raise money for the homeless shelter.” So far, the effort has raised over a half-million dollars and, we’re still at it! This year's goal is $60,000.

Who we are helping

Inasmuch House serves women and one or two-parent families with children who are experiencing the crisis of homelessness, providing emergency shelter, meals, and services to help families get back on their feet and back into permanent housing. It is the only area shelter that allows families to stay together.
