Since 1997 or so I have been honored with the opportunity to support HFH both here and elsewhere as a volunteer, then board member and as a construction professional. My experiences with all types of people involved have been the most spiritually uplifting events. I strongly encourage everyone to get involved at any level and feel the spirit of Lord's work in your own life as you see it in those you come in contact with. This isn't just community, houses, wood, nails and siding it is the opportunity for personal growth, enrichment, and benevolance for all.
I began volunteering with Bay County Habitat for Humanity 7 years ago because I liked the concept of helping families on a personal and local level. I have enjoyed the experience of building houses, learning a lot in the process for my own use, but most of all I have met so many wonderful people that are either volunteers, staff or the families we build homes for. Getting to know people that could not qualify to have their own home without the help of this caring organization makes me more aware of the many Blessings I have through my own family and friends. I will continue to "Pay it forward" by volunteering for Bay County Habitat for Humanity as long as I am able.
Bay County Habitat For Humanity volunteers build and renovate homes to improve lives, neighborhoods, and our community. Seeking to put God’s love into action, Bay County Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
On April 20th, First Presbyterian Church of Bay City and Bay County Habitat for Humanity are hosting The Big Day Of Serving, a one day mission event to clean up our community. Youth Groups will bring over 350 persons from around the State Bay City to put there love for God into action! This event will be held in conjunction with the City of Bay City's annual Earth Day event. Yards of elderly community members will be cleaned, as well as parks and a Historic Cemetery. Protecting the environment, and Recycling will be an integral part of all of the activities.
BCHFH will begin the construction of a new home in Pinconning Michigan in May. Volunteers are always welcome, leaving each days work with a feeling of accomplishment.
