2021 #PowerofHome Campaign | |
The Power of Home – Michigan campaign is raising funds statewide to better equip Habitat for Humanity affiliates to stabilize housing in their communities.
Consumers Energy is offering affiliates $100,000 in matching funds. This means that for every $2 raised, the campaign receives an additional $1 of match money!
We need YOUR HELP to meet our $5,000 goal and receive some of these match funds!
In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis and shelter-in-place mandates, safe and healthy housing is needed more than ever. Join us and support Macomb County Habitat for Humanity as we continue to work towards a future where every Michigan family experiences firsthand the power of a healthy, safe, affordable home.

Celebrating National Volunteer Month | National Volunteer Week started in Canada in 1943 to honor women volunteers key to World War II efforts. It is now a month-long focus on the importance of volunteers worldwide as well as in the US. Volunteers are key to all that Macomb Habitat does, from construction, to our ReStores, to our Board of Directors, and many others. Watch for home building opportunities mid-summer thru fall or help at the ReStore anytime! | |

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities | |
|
Volunteering on the Horizon
We are in the process of gaining City Council permission and gathering the funds to purchase five foreclosed homes in Eastpointe for Macomb Habitat to renovate and partnering with contractors on two more. We don’t do volunteer work until we own properties, so we expect that Eastpointe work will start in June and more will come later in the year. We await a basement wall installation in Clinton Township and an over-the-road move of the latest home begun by Chippewa Valley students.
As soon as any projects are ready, we post them on the Volunteer Calendar at macombhabitat.org.
So far, we have had more volunteer interest from groups and individuals this spring than we saw in all of 2020! We will have plenty for everyone to do from mid-summer to fall.
