| BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN SERVE Cost: Early Bird Rate by April 1: $310 USD Regular Rate on/after April 1: $360 USD Site Capacity: 55 (incl. leaders) General Description: Battle Creek is known as the "Cereal City" as it has been the home to Kellogg's, Post and General Mills. It is the fourth largest city in Michigan in regards to land area and has a population of just over 90,000. It is predominantly a blue-collar community, and the issues of poverty and race relations are just a couple that face us, as we strive to be the body of Christ in this corner of His Kingdom. Facilities: River Walk Community Church is conveniently located next to a Christian School, which is happy to open its doors to us. We'll be eating our meals in the gym, using the locker rooms for showers, and some of the classrooms for sleeping. Our large group sessions will be held in our air conditioned youth center. Work Sites: You will be helping various non-profit agencies in Battle Creek such as Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, and Charitable Union. You will be doing anything from sorting clothes, serving meals, light construction, painting, and evangelism, to grounds maintenance at the various organizations. Day Away: Lake Michigan Transportation: Registration fees do NOT include transportation to and from the sites. Each group of five or more must provide vehicle(s) and adult driver(s) (typically small group leaders) to transport an equal number of participants during the duration of the mission experience regardless of whether you fly or drive to the site. The vehicles you bring will be used to transport small groups to the work site each day, so 12-passenger vans or mini-vans are preferred. Cars do not facilitate the transportation of an entire small group in one vehicle, so please do not bring them. If you wish to bring a bus, please check with the Host Team to see if this is acceptable before you make arrangements. If your group is unable to provide van transportation, please have a youth leader call Youth Unlimited to discuss options and additional charges. For your decision making purposes, the closest airport is Kalamazoo. Please DO NOT book airfare until you have received written confirmation from Youth Unlimited that you have been placed at this site.
