Marquette County Habitat for Humanity Celebrates 108th Home Dedication

(Marquette, MI) – Marquette County Habitat for Humanity is celebrating its 108th home dedication in the last 30 years. The dedication of a home for Angela Flynn and her two sons takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) on Woodland Avenue in Marquette.

Since 1992, Marquette County Habitat for Humanity has been partnering with families to construct new affordable housing in Marquette County. In keeping with their mission of “a hand up, not a handout” partnering families are required to put in at least 250 hours of sweat equity, or invested time, into their home build, alongside Habitat staff and volunteers. Once the home is completed the family is set up with an affordable mortgage, giving them a solid financial foundation and safe, secure housing for their future.

For more information about volunteer or donation opportunities with Habitat for Humanity, contact the main office at (906) 228-3578 or visit www.mqthabitat.org
