❤️ On World Charity Day, we simply want to say THANK YOU.

Charity doesn’t always come in the form of a check. Sometimes it looks like giving your time, sharing your talents, serving on a board, volunteering at an event, letting us use a parking area, making a donation, lending equipment, sharing resources, or simply showing up when our community needs you.

Main Street Lansing is powered by people who care about this community—and there are so many of you who give in ways big and small.

We see you. We appreciate you. And we truly couldn’t do this work without you.

To our board members, volunteers, businesses, property owners, donors, partners, organizations, and community members: thank you for investing in Lansing and helping us keep our community thriving. ❤️

Your generosity makes a difference. Happy World Charity Day!

🎃 Calling All Area Businesses & Organizations — Would You Be Interested? 🎃

Main Street Lansing is getting ready for our fall community-wide events, including Downtown Trick-or-Treating on Friday, October 30 from 3:30–5:00 PM! 🍬👻

This year, we’d love to invite businesses and organizations outside of downtown Lansing to join in the fun!

🚗🍭 Would your business or organization be interested in hosting a Trunk-or-Treat space downtown?

We’re exploring using downtown parking spaces where you could decorate a vehicle, hand out treats, promote your business or organization, and help us make Downtown Trick-or-Treating even bigger and more fun for local families!

It’s a great way to get your name out in the community, connect with local families, and join in the Halloween fun.

👇 Would you participate? Comment below or send Main Street Lansing a message so we can gauge interest!
