The Board listens to and votes on pitches for programs that could run at the Purple House that would benefit the homeless community.

MISSION'S Meal Schedule

Purple House

Sunday Meal

From 3p-5p, every Sunday after a Mission Board Meeting.
Mission Board hosts a meal at Purple House,

Currently, MISSION's BBQ meals are at 3-5p and are being held at Wheeler Park, located between Fourth and Fifth adjacent to Summit and Depot St (across from Amtrak Station) in Ann Arbor, MI.

These meals are for both the non hungry and for those who are hungry. Meals are made and donated with care by one or more members of the Community, Mission, a kind Organization or
a charitable Church.

On the other Sunday afternoons, a local Friends of the Community group called Washtenaw Camp Outreach (WCO) hosts a humanitarian BBQ of hamburgers or hotdogs, sides and drinks; along with a Vegetarian option when available, at Wheeler Park located near the downtown A2 riverfront area.

During Sunday meals at Purple House our guests are welcome to do laundry in 1 of 2 sets of our laundry facility. Guests may take a 15 minute shower in 1 of 2 showers.

These communal meals allow Mission and the community to discuss current events in the communities; in an open and respectful conversation. Representatives of the Mission Board talk about the current and future events and actions that Mission agreed upon during their last meeting.
