At MBC we’re dedicated to making a positive impact in our communities by supporting individuals, families and organizations that make a meaningful difference throughout Michigan. One of the ways we give back is through our Casual for Charity program. Each month, MBC employees have the opportunity to donate for the privilege of wearing jeans during the week and enjoying more casual attire on Fridays. It’s a fun and rewarding way to support great causes while enjoying a little extra comfort at work. MBC’s March Charity is Pope Francis Center.

Mission

Pope Francis Center (PFC) provides holistic, transformational solutions to people experiencing homelessness. We envision a Detroit without homelessness, where every person has the resources for sustained stability.

To that end, we operate a drop-in Day Center to meet basic needs for anyone seeking support and the Bridge Housing Campus, a residential transitional housing facility.

Pope Francis Center maintains a zero-bar entry policy, meaning we serve anyone who seeks our support. We do not require identification, paperwork, or screening for drugs or alcohol. Within both our locations, however, violence and drug use are strictly prohibited.

For many people living on the streets of Detroit, Pope Francis Center is a beacon of help and hope. We see the humanity and goodness in everyone who comes through our doors and treat our guests with the dignity and respect deserved by all.

We offer all our guests a safe place to take respite from life on the streets. We are dedicated to helping our guests unlock their potential so they can realize a brighter future.
