Onda is a program convened by Access Health

Communityyou can count on

Onda connects the people and places across West Michigan who help, into one network. Come for help, or come to help. Everyone belongs here.

Connecting providers and people

Collaboration by partners who care

If your organization already serves this community, joining Onda means your work reaches further and no one gets lost.

Resources for wherever you are

Housing, food, rides, care, work, and more. Bring any problem to any partner and we will help you find who handles it.

Holistic care, from health to social care

Every connection shows us what neighbors need most, so this community can put its resources where they matter.

our why

Whole person care, across every category

A ride to an appointment. A safe place to sleep. Food in the fridge, a job application, a landlord who will not return a call. Nobody’s needs arrive one at a time, and for too long the organizations that help have worked in separate rooms.

Onda is a shared commitment, and software our partners built for exactly this, so you tell your story once and everyone helping you works as one.

our roots

Built locally, by people who care

Onda started in Muskegon, after years of conversations among neighbors, providers, and community leaders about what people actually needed. It is convened by Access Health alongside United Way of the Lakeshore, CALL-211, and dozens of local partners.

Today our reach extends across West Michigan, and we are building it to go further. Every organization that joins makes the next neighbor’s search shorter.

Join the Onda community mission

Need a hand, or have one to give? This is where you start. One conversation with any Onda partner connects you to the whole network. Someone will pick it up from there and guide you through what's next.
