FIGHTING HUNGER WHERE WE LIVE
Give Funds
Even a small gift can make a BIG difference. "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
Aesop
Give Time
Your gift of time helps hungry families eat. "Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have."
Jim Rohn
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide long term and temporary assistance to those who have fallen on difficult times in hopes of returning them to the independent pursuit of their life’s goals.
Serving Your Community
Active Faith Community Services helps people in need in the South Lyon Community School District. This 83 square mile area covers six different municipalities including parts of Oakland, Livingston and Washtenaw Counties.
We continue to distribute food and clothing to over 120 families and assist families in need.
Active Faith is continually changing to meet the needs of the community. We are an information and referral center for food, clothing, and utility assistance from other agencies. Contact us and we can direct you to the right agencies even though you may not fit into our financial guidelines.
