Neighborhood House
Community Center in Saginaw

A safe haven for children in
struggling urban neighborhoods

Lutheran Social Services of Michigan runs Neighborhood House in Saginaw to provide a safe haven for children in struggling urban neighborhoods. Neighborhood House offers educational and recreational activities for children and a hot dinner program for families.

 

Centered on children 

Neighborhood House is filled with the noise and laughter of children every day. Some are painting colorful pictures, while others are playing basketball with friends or studying for a math test with their mentor. There are always a variety of educational and recreational activities to keep children busy after school and in the summer.
