General information

Mission In The City (MITC) is a 501 C-3 Community Development Organization with a Vision to “Make life better for the people in Saginaw and Saginaw County.” with a Mission to “Restore our community one person, one block at a time.”

OUR DREAM
To live in a city that makes us proud. To make Saginaw, Michigan a city of stable jobs, good schools, safe streets, and a vibrant business district. Mission In The City is what we do to connect people to a better life. It allows us to go throughout our target area from 5th St to 9th St and Lapeer to Cherry acquiring land, renovating homes, providing positive community gatherings, meeting needs and giving people hope from many aspects of life.

The fulfillment of this dream will assist the City of Saginaw public safety and the police department in removing the blight within the community that’s causing gunfire, drug traffic, abandoned houses, & community gangs. It will also offset the damaging effects of poverty and structural disadvantages that cause serious crime among youth. Currently, the following statistics are eating at the weak edges of our communities and causing people to not want to live in the City of Saginaw nor its neighboring cities:

In 2010 MITC built a $250,000 gated Sports & Fitness Park equipped with a community pavilion, a quarter mile walking track, and two full sized basketball courts. The goal of the park is to provide a safe place for: community gatherings, community sports programs, community walking, and summer youth programs.
