Mission for Area People

Mission for Area People 501(c)(3) is a non-profit organization committed to serving persons in Muskegon County. We host services and programs centered on meeting emergency needs and facilitating education to empower our neighbors for self-sufficiency. MAP was originally inspired by area Methodist churches in 1967. Today, more than 50 West Michigan churches, service organizations and businesses support MAP through volunteers, in-kind donations, and monetary gifts.
