Have you heard about Hannah's House?
Hannah’s House in Lansing goes far beyond providing homeless, expectant mothers with food and shelter. We provide them an opportunity to gain the emotional, physical, and spiritual strength to raise children in a loving, supportive, and positive way, or to follow an adoption plan if they so choose. Women live free of charge at Hannah’s House through pregnancy and up to six months following the birth of their baby. They leave with a promising new life ahead of them. The goal is that every mother who leaves Hannah’s House has a home, as well as the parenting and life skills necessary to be a contributing member of the community.
To learn more, or to donate, check out their website: https://hannahshouselansing.org/

ShopWithScrip is now RaiseRight
Scrip ( NOW RaiseRight) is gift cards from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift cards that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in the RaiseRight program including Meijer, Wal-Mart, VG’s, Tanger Outlet Mall, Subway, Panera, Starbucks, Speedway, etc. We have $25 Journeys cards and $25 iTunes cards available! There are hundreds of retailers available, check out this LIST as of December, 2024 .
Participating RaiseRight retailers sell gift certificates to the parish at a discount. You buy the gift cards for full face value through the parish; redeem them for full face value, and St. Agnes keeps the difference as revenue.
The parish has purchased some of the most popular gift cards to have on hand. Cards may be purchased by check, cash or credit card (3% fee will apply to credit cards). Order forms are also available for ordering cards we do not have in stock. Individuals may set up their account and link to us at raiseright.com and our enrollment code is 6EBC75C44193L.
