Community Action House runs a membership grocery store in Holland where households choose their own food for a small monthly fee. Christian Neighbors in Fennville helps with heating bills and rent from a door on Wiley Road. Harbor Transit will pick you up at your house in Grand Haven for a few dollars. The Momentum Center, OnPoint, Pine Rest and Community Mental Health answer when the problem is harder to name.
The Community Support Directory gathers 112 organizations like these across Ottawa County and the Allegan lakeshore in 15 categories: food, shelter and housing, crisis lines and domestic violence, mental health, addiction and recovery, health care, financial and legal aid, children and families, seniors, disability services, veterans, education and job training, immigrant services, LGBTQ+ support and transportation. Every listing was checked against the organization's own website in September and October 2026 and shows the date it was verified, along with hours, who it serves, what it costs and what to bring.
The whole directory is also in Spanish at mosaicwestmichigan.com/apoyo, written for readers rather than machine-translated. Sixteen organizations confirmed to us that they serve people in Spanish by phone or in person, and their pages say so.
In a crisis right now: call or text 988, or dial 2-1-1 any hour. For domestic violence, Resilience answers at 800-848-5991, day or night.
Hours change and phone numbers move. If you find one that has, the Corrections page tells us in a minute, and the listing gets fixed and re-dated. If an organization is missing, the Nominate page is the way in.
