Volunteer of 2023 & Corporate Partner of 2023

​This year has been a great adventure for Cheboygan County Habitat and all of our supporters. We all have been working tirelessly hand in hand to eliminate unsafe, unaffordable housing in our community. As a thank you, we would like to announce our Volunteer of the Year and our Corporate Partner of the Year for 2023.

​Darrin joined the CCHFH board, when we had only 4 board members and really needed more support to help us get on track to start growing our capacity to serve. We didn't know when we signed up Darrin to volunteer, that his wife, Trisha, would also get involved and be instrumental in helping our mission move forward. ​​With their support, our events have grown and doubled income, we have increased our capacity to serve from one home every three years to 2-3 builds/rehab this year plus 8-10 home repair projects and much more. Their continued support and guidance has allowed us to apply for grant funds we previously weren't ready for. ​​Now we are applying for missing middle grant funds and just were awarded a small and rural capacity building grant.

Darrin now serves as our Board President but held the Treasurer position previously. He took on the role as Board Development Chair and has helped increase our board member by 4 members and even took the lead on creating a board orientation for new members.

Trisha serves on our Event Committee, but really, she is helping wherever we need a helping hand. She will make and bring lunch to the jobsite, help with home cleanings, event planning and set up, solicitation of committee members and auction items and so much more.

​Straits Area Federal Credit Union has been supporting Cheboygan County Habitat for Humanity for many years through financial donations, sponsorships and more recently sending volunteer groups out to build with us on the jobsite. This continued partnership will soon include working with the Credit Union on financial coaching and educational courses to help strengthen the community members and in turn the community we live and work.

The continued support from the Credit Union has made a huge impact in the work we are doing and they have gotten to see firsthand how our mission works in action. They are actively working with Cheboygan Habitat to further our mission and the work we are doing throughout Cheboygan County.
