Meet Tina 💙

After the heartbreaking loss of her son, who was a frequent and cherished participant at Save the Michaels Recovery Center, Tina chose to channel her grief into compassion, service, and love for others. She has become a true force within our community, both behind the scenes and front and center when it comes to planning meaningful events that bring joy, connection, and dignity to those we serve.

Tina invests her time, energy, and her own resources outside of her full-time job to support our unsheltered community. Because of her, we’ve been able to host uplifting events like Bingo, Pumpkin Carving, Grillin’ for Good, and so many other positive moments that brighten the days of the people who need it most.

Today, we want to say thank you, Tina.
Thank you for your heart. Thank you for the love you show our participants. Thank you for being a steady light in moments when others need it the most.

Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for all you are and all you do. 💛✨

🌟 Meet Raymond! 🌟

If you’ve spent any time in our Drop-In Center, you’ve probably met Raymond — and you’ll never forget it! He brings a sharp sense of sarcasm that keeps the room laughing and definitely keeps staff on their toes. 😄

But behind the humor is someone who truly cares about the people around him. Raymond works hard to respect staff and the space, and we appreciate the effort he puts in every day.

We’re grateful to have Raymond as part of our Save the Michaels community. 💙
