Making an Impact Together
At Athens Fitness & Coaching, we believe in giving back and supporting causes that truly matter. Discover the initiatives we're passionate about and how we aim to make a positive difference in our community and beyond.
Jennifer's Place is a community resource center in Owosso dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and other life challenges. Through essential resources, practical assistance, and compassionate support, they help individuals and families take steps toward stability, recovery, and hope.
Hope Works Mid-Michigan has a year-round homeless shelter in St. Louis MI and a seasonal shelter in Owosso MI. Our goal is to help those who are most vulnerable by meeting their housing needs as well as their emotional, mental & physical needs.
SafeCenter advocates the right for every person, adult or child, to live in a non-violent environment where individuality and equality are recognized and respected. We seek to maintain a supportive atmosphere wherein victims are able to obtain information, explore options and ultimately make their own choices.
