Marquette County Habitat for Humanity will break ground on May 12th at noon on their 107th home build at 240 Silver Street in Ishpeming.
Since 1992, Marquette County Habitat for Humanity has been partnering with families to construct new affordable housing in Marquette County. In keeping with their mission of “a hand up, not a handout” partnering families are required to put in at least 250 hours of sweat equity, or invested time, into their home build, alongside Habitat staff and volunteers. Once the home is completed the family is set up with an affordable mortgage, giving them a solid financial foundation and safe, secure housing for their future.
Whether you have hands on experience or are looking to expand your skill set, Habitat is always looking for more volunteers for new construction, home repairs and ramp installation.
If you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities, or to inquire about how to apply for a Habitat partner home, call (906) 228-3578 or email info@mqthabitat.org.
