Summary
Sunrise Mission is a private Christian homeless shelter. While Sunrise Mission is not a good fit for every person who applies, we offer other services to assist them such as referrals to other agencies, food, and warm clothing. Our services are 100% funded by the generous donations and prayers of our neighbors. We are a short term shelter for individuals and adults in Northeast Michigan. We strive to show the unconditional love of Christ, while helping others to grow in personal responsibility - a "hand up" in a time personal crisis.
