Cheboygan County Habitat for Humanity heavily relies on the hard work of volunteers to successfully build, rehab and repair housing in Cheboygan County. There are roles for everyone regardless of experience or skill level. All that's needed is a willingness to learn! We provide a hands-on learning experience that teaches real world skills. Minors are able to volunteer with parental supervision.

Are you interested in helping out the ReStore? Here's an idea of how you can help us:

• ​Processing donations so they can be priced and put on shelves.
• Assisting customers around the store and with any questions they have.
• Organizing inventory to keep shelves neat and tidy.
• Light cleaning like dusting, sweeping and vacuuming.
• More based on comfort level.

How about building homes on our jobsites?

• Installing doors, windows, siding, drywall, and non-fiberglass insulation.
• Organizing materials.
• Floor and wall construction.
• Tools on site are circular saws, hammers, shovels, levels & tape measures.
• More based on comfort level.

Not comfortable with swinging a hammer or wielding a saw but still want to help our jobsite? You can always provide lunch during volunteer shifts! Sandwiches and chips are a simple yet stomach filling meal! There is no refrigeration (coolers only) on site so please, keep this in mind when planning lunches!

Are you looking for something to assist our admin office?

• Bulk mailers are a big task, we mail out thousands of newsletters and flyers to our supporters all over the country and need help to fold, stuff and send them.
• Event preparation includes collecting donations and creating gift baskets.
• More based on comfort level.

Do you like to party? Habitat holds multiple fundraisers over the year and always need help with...

• Setting up and take down at the event venue.
• Attend at sign in or activity tables during the event.
• More based on comfort level.

None of those options sound appealing? That's ok! We also need board and committee members! Only a few hours per month to attend meetings can assist Habitat with making decisions, fundraising, planning events and making big change in Cheboygan County!

We have an amazing opportunity to raise even more funds for our Homeownership Program Endowment Fund at the Straits Area Community Foundation! Now through November 1st, donations made to our endowment fund are being matched $1 for $1 up to $50,000.

These dollars are an investment into our Homeownership Program in Cheboygan County. This year we are working to increase our capacity to serve in this program. We have 2 new home builds started in Indian River and will start a new home rehab project as well. Next Fiscal Year (July 2024), we will start 2 more new builds in Indian River another home rehab project! 

We just purchased some 10 lots in Cheboygan we hope to develop in the future as well and hope to continue building homes in the other parts of the community too!
