MORE THAN A BUS
MISSION STATEMENT
"To impact the needs of the hurting by bringing hope into cities where hunger and homelessness exists"
ABOUT
More Than a Bus is a non-profit 501c3 organization that will serve the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the homeless, poor, underserved, oppressed and mentally unstable persons (collectively the “hurting”) in communities throughout Macomb County where homelessness and hunger exist. More Than a Bus will consistently provide food, personal hygiene items and articles of clothing to the hurting in those communities by traveling to the same location weekly. This will be done primarily through the work of volunteers and funded through voluntary contributions from the general public and those persons interested in the goals and mission of More Than a Bus.
