Overview:
We are honored to be able to make an IMPACT on our community via involvement and contributions to many local organizations that are a vital lifeline for residents of Southeast Michigan. Our favorite charities include Humble Design, Oakland Furniture Bank, and Habitat for Humanity. We are most involved with the Women Build Team of Oakland County. And let us tell you, the job ain’t easy, and there is a lot of dirt…but it is our favorite kind of dirt!
About Habitat for Humanity:
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. The new homeowners take educational courses on home ownership, take out a mortgage, and put in many hours of sweat equity to help build their own homes side by side with volunteers. Throughout this process, Habitat homeowners develop the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for a better future.
Earlier this year we had the opportunity to volunteer and help with this amazing team on this home. This is a great house in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood in Southfield.
After completion, this home will be ready for new memories. Our team consisted of some of Impact’s team members along with 2 amazing realtors from Keller Williams Paint Creek and Coldwell Banker Weir Manual, not to mention the core of regular volunteers who are always part of these projects. The core volunteers educated us on the tools we were using to ensure a safe work zone!
Project After:
We are proud to say this home is now complete, and the new owner finally has the keys to her very own home. Her son is most excited about having his own back yard to play in! We were so inspired at the dedication ceremony, and this has truly touched our hearts knowing that we participated in helping a family achieve their dream of home ownership.
How to get involved:
