Maumee Valley Habitat has a heart for helping people through building lives, hope and homes. I've volunteered for seven seasons helping others fulfill their dreams while fulfilling my calling of serving others. The smiles of delight on the faces of the partner families show and tell it all. It makes serving all the more rewarding.
I encourage everyone to get involved. Count your blessings and pay it forward today. There truly is, "No Place Like Home".

Mission: Maumee valley habitat for humanity is a christian, non-profit organization that brings people together to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for lower-income people in lucas county, ohio and around the world through homeownership and repair programs.
Programs: Homeownership: in 2017, maumee valley habitat for humanity closed on 6 homes built or rehabbed to lower-income families of lucas county through 0% interest loans. The homes are also affordable to families with limited income because of the 26,407 donated labor hours by 1,298 volunteers in 2017 and the support of generous donors and sponsoring organizations. Through the homeownership program 6 adults and 12 children were housed in 2017. Each future homeowner partners with the affiliate prior to the purchase of their home through 250 hours of sweat equity hours in which they attend homeowner, financial, and home maintenance education classes and volunteer with the affiliate. Through our 2017 tithe (10% gift of all undesignated donations) to habitat for humanity ethiopia, haiti, and tajikistan, an additional 3 families were housed in 2017.
repair programs: the affiliate offers lower-income homeowners in lucas county two repair programs to help them maintain the safety and value of their home. Home repair ministry (hrm) provides health and safety related repairs. A brush with kindness (abwk) provides exterior painting and maintenance of homes to protect the home from water damage and to maintain the curb appeal and value of the home and neighborhood. Both programs are offered to homeowners at just the cost of materials. Homeowners are also offered a 0% interest loan if needed. In 2017, 59 hrm projects were completed including 25 roofs and 1 family partnered with maumee valley habitat through abwk.
