OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
Walk-In Hours:

We care a whole lot about health at the Allen Neighborhood Center. We are dedicated to creating a neighborhood that is rich in parks, green spaces, gardens, and opportunity for safety and protection. At the ANC, we offer help and information for signing up for the Ingham Health Plan, Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance plans.
But we also like having fun! Through exercise programs like Market Walk (offered during warmer months in Hunter Park), neighbors earn tokens to the Allen Farmers Market. In other words, we ‘pay’ you to exercise with your neighbors!
Gender Affirmation Project
If any neighbors need help with name and/or gender marker changes, Allen Neighborhood Center, with the help of MSU’s Trans-ilience team and Triangle Bar Association, is now a site in which neighbors can not only get support in filling out these forms and navigating the system, but also receive help in covering the costs that come along with this process.
We believe that the affirmation of one’s identity should be a positive experience, and the reality is that navigating the legal process to change your name and/or gender marker is anything but. We strive to do our part to make this process better for our community. If you want to learn more, please visit the link below!

Car Seats
To make an appointment or to learn more information, please call us at (517) 999-3917.
Anyone can now come to ANC and get a FREE car seat check by a certified child passenger safety technician. It’s so important that children in our community travel safely, and installing a car seat can be a challenge. We are here to help!
