Good morning, Bay City.

Rescue Ministries of Mid-Michigan cut the ribbon on its new overnight drop-in center at 713 Ninth Street that offers safe shelter for 35 people nightly with a hot shower, meal and laundry access.

It operates from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m.

Good Samaritan Rescue Mission held a ribbon cutting yesterday (3:08 p.m.) to mark the opening of an overnight drop-in center for those experiencing chronic homelessness.

The project was coordinated with Rescue Ministries and city officials to boost local support.

Bay County’s only Red Lobster closed at the Bangor Township Wilder Road location as the chain works through bankruptcy following its Chapter 11 filing in May 2024, and restaurants in Saginaw Township, Mount Morris Township and Mount Pleasant remain open.
