Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities.
Do you want to make a difference in someone’s life? Join us for our annual mission trip to Habitat for HiawathaLand in Manistique, MI. Since 2004, we have gone on a week-long mission trip where we have done our best to “make a difference in someone’s life.” As time and skills permit, the folks we are helping have worked alongside us as we build or repair their home. Over the years, we’ve watched families grow as they shared their lives with us.
We’ve sided, insulated, hung drywall, and built decks on new houses and rehabs along with installing windows, doors, kitchen cabinets, wood flooring, sinks, bathtubs, and the list goes on. Did everyone know how to do these things, of course not! We learn from each other. Right now we have a crew of 7 lined up to go!
Why do we keep going on these trips to sleep on old prison mattresses? One is we are called to share our gifts and talents with our neighbors. It is a great time of fellowship and learning. Learning not only new skills but also about our teammates and most importantly about ourselves. It is rewarding and fulfilling to see the smile on a client's face when you complete a task that brings them closer to owning their own home.
This summer we were so blessed to be able to help Habitat for Humanity HiawathaLand in Manistique to be the hands and feet of God.
What a great week! We worked on replacing windows for many local residents, did some clean-up ministry, took a tour of the Iron Mountain Mine in Vulcan, MI, went to the Manistique pier, and took a trip to Kitch-It-Ti-Kipi.
