🎄🎅🎁

Each year, our goal is to bless at least 100 families during the Christmas season—and this year, we need YOUR help to make it happen!

The holidays can be especially challenging for parents and caregivers who want to provide for their children but may not have the means to do so. Through our Christmas program, we ensure every child receives gifts, including toys, games, puzzles, crafts, pajamas, and new clothes. But we don’t stop there—each adult in the household also receives a gift to open on Christmas morning, because everyone deserves to feel the joy of the season. To add an extra layer of comfort, every family also receives a new set of towels and a warm blanket—small luxuries that can make a big difference in their everyday lives.

Would you like to be part of this special mission? We are looking for individuals, families, and groups to sponsor a family and give HOPE this holiday season. To learn more or adopt a family, give us a call at 810-234-2479, or email us at [email protected].

Exciting News! Home Improvement Grants to Residents in Flint and Genesee County


Metro Community Development is thrilled to share the positive community impact achieved this year through a partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis’ Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP).

Together, they helped 63 local homeowners receive up to $15,000 each to make essential home repairs such as new roofs, windows, furnaces and more. This program has helped families remain safe and comfortable in their homes while improving property values and community stability.

This is just one of the ways Metro is helping families to move forward!

Applications will be accepted in person at the Water Customer Service Center at the following dates and times:

Monday, 9a.m.-12 p.m. at Flint City Hall
Tuesday, 1-4 p.m. at Flint City Hall
