Habitat Build 2025

Volunteering time & raising money

Each summer, FUMC joins forces with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley through the Good News Group to help families achieve the dream of homeownership. In the summer of 2025, the team not only volunteered their time but also raised $10,000 for construction materials and down payment assistance.

Managing a range of tasks

FUMC volunteers contributed their skills to four different homes, tackling a wide range of tasks—from demolition and framing to constructing outdoor storage sheds and completing final paint and trim work. In addition to many returning volunteers, the team welcomed 16 first-time participants.

Volunteer testimonials

FUMC’s involvement in the Habitat enterprise is incredible… it is very rewarding to experience how our contribution impacts the people/families for whom we reach out. I am humbled by the opportunity to make a difference in the life of those we endeavor to help.

This year, we were able to work alongside the future homeowners… It is always great to be reminded that we are doing this work for real people who just need a little help getting settled. It is great that FUMC has participated for so many years with a wonderful organization like Habitat for Humanity.
