Forever Friendship Drop-In

“I get a ride in pretty much every day from Iron River, MI; there's a lot of fun and relaxing things to do. From learning healthy cheap recipes on Monday, different kinds of small art projects for art therapy on Tuesday, over to Bored Bard on Wednesdays, Coping Skills Toolbox on Thursday, and diamond painting on Friday- though I do a lot of that throughout the week. There's streaming services for movies and TV, music, tons of kinds of different art mediums to do with as you please, Legos and resources for the community, and events in the community, and even some trips. Definitely worth the ride in for everything, great atmosphere and great people. I hope more people will come and enjoy it.”

“As the transportation director, and member I see daily how amazing the drop-in center is. I have met great people, and have had great times. The drop-in offers something for everyone, free from judgement and stigma. The director is great at planning community outings and classes/groups that otherwise would be out of reach for alot of people. We celebrate holidays together, and support and encourage eachother just like family. Which is what this community needs. A welcoming space for everyone. I highly recommend "dropping in" if you have the chance.”

“I first came to Forever Friendship while living in Iron River MI. For the last almost 2 years I have found support, friends, fun, safety. I am so grateful for Forever Friendship Drop In Center and the time and effort that goes into planning groups, activities, classes and outings. I used to be very shut in and kept to myself. The support I have received has allowed me to reclaim my life. I now live in Iron Mountain and I don't miss a day. If you get the chance, drop in to the Drop In and check us out!”

“Very rude and unprofessional. They will turn people away who have disabilities and want to join them on any outings. What do they do with the money that is funded to them? The lady who runs the place won’t answer any of your questions and completely ignores you. They need a new place in town because this one is a joke.”
