LINCOLN PARK SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT COALITION
MONDAY, MAY 13TH, 2024 AT 6PM
Join us for our formal presentation at a Lincoln Park City Council Study Session on Monday, May 13 at 6 pm in Council Chambers, 1355 Southfield Road, where we will present our work and proposal as contained in the report found here.
The Lincoln Park Social Development Coalition is an ad-hoc collective of leaders, neighbors, and service providers committed to improving residents’ access to quality resources in Lincoln Park, Michigan.
This Coalition is truly unique to Lincoln Park. It is our vision to integrate social development into our official governing processes in a kind and degree that parallels the way economic development is, and to measure the success of our efforts just as we track economic success. To our knowledge, no other community in Michigan–and few anywhere, actually–is making a meaningful attempt to do that.
Souper Bowl of Caring
We will be collecting soup cans from January 28th, 2024 through the month of February.

Winter 2021 - 2022
Plastic Bags for Crocheting Mats
The Outreach Committee is asking for donations of plastic bags (the grocery store type, from stores like Meijer’s, Kroger’s, etc.) for this fabulous project. Plastic bags are crocheted into mats for the homeless. It takes about 700 plastic bags to make one mat. These mats are about six (6) feet in length. They will keep the homeless from being exposed to the cold that comes from sleeping directly on the ground or wherever they sleep. Donations are ongoing until further notice. For further information, there is a newspaper article regarding these mats on the bulletin board next to the office that you may read. The plastic bags may be put in the round barrel located near the entrance of the church across from the office. These finished beautiful and resourceful mats will be given to Blessed Hope Church where they will be given to the homeless.
