Hi Haven Nation! It's been Soooooo long since we made a "Hey, we need TP supplies" type of a post. Now that we're into September, it's time to revisit this number one (and two) supply need of the Haven. Can you help?? Donations can be dropped off at the Haven's downtown location, at 11 Green Street. THANK YOU!!

The Haven of Rest Ministries is grateful to the Consumers Energy Foundation for a generous $40,000 grant supporting the continued construction of our new kitchen and dining facility at our downtown Battle Creek campus.

Executive Director Daniel Jones (pictured on left) recently joined Greg Moore, Consumers Energy Senior Community Affairs Manager, (on right) to celebrate this important investment in the Haven and the people we serve.

This gift moves us another step closer to completing a building that will expand and strengthen our ability to serve over 90,000 warm and nutritious meals every year to people experiencing homelessness and other challenges in our community.

Construction is moving forward, but we still have fundraising to do. Our goal is to complete the new building and have it ready for use by April or May of 2027!

Thank you again to the Consumers Energy Foundation for believing in our mission and investing in the future of the Haven. We are grateful for partners who help us turn plans on paper into places where lives can change.

Hi Haven Nation; Our kitchen needs your help! ❤️ Our supply of meat and protein products is running very low, making it difficult to prepare the thousands of nutritious meals we serve each week. If you're able, please consider donating beef, chicken, pork, turkey, or other meat products. Every donation helps feed neighbors in need. Thank you for your generosity! Donations can be dropped off at 11 Green Street, downtown BC.

70 Years of Hope. 70 Years of Changing Lives.

On August 19, 2026, Haven of Rest Ministries will celebrate 70 years of serving Battle Creek and the surrounding communities.

Since 1956, thousands of men, women, and children have found more than a meal or a bed—they've found hope, healing, recovery, and a community that believes every life has value.

For seven decades, this ministry has been possible because of faithful supporters, dedicated volunteers, generous churches, committed staff, and a community that has chosen compassion.

Throughout the month of August, we'll be celebrating 70 Years of Hope by sharing stories from our history, highlighting lives that have been transformed, recognizing the people who make this ministry possible, and looking ahead to the future God has in store for the Haven.

We invite you to celebrate with us, share our story, and join us as we build hope for the next generation.

Thank you, Battle Creek, for walking alongside us for the past 70 years.

Here's to the next 70.

Battle Creek's Wal-Mart made a generous donation to a couple of non-profit organizations in town this week... and The Haven was fortunate enough to be one of them! Cassy, local Wal-Mart store manager, presented the big check at the store's renovation / Grand re-opening today, and Haven Executive Director Daniel Jones was on hand for it. THANK YOU so much Wal-Mart, and Cassy. We appreciate ❤️ you!
