FAQ



VOLUNTEERING

Lifting the wallWhatever your occupation, interests, or talents, you can make a contribution at Copper Country Habitat for Humanity. Volunteers do not necessarily need building skills. There are opportunities such as volunteering at the work site, getting your church involved, helping in the office with various projects and mailings, or serving on one of the Habitat Committees. You can become a family partner, volunteer for the Building Committee or the Fundraising Committee, or add your know-how to the Board of Directors. Whatever your skills, you can help!

 

 

Youth Groups

For youth groups, please be aware of Habitat for Humanity International's and Copper Country Habitat's policies regarding minimum age for construction volunteers. We encourage youth groups to help out in alternate ways other than during active construction. Please contact the Copper Country Habitat office for suggestions, 906-482-5376, cchfh@pasty.com.

Church Groups

Habitat for Humanity actively encourages area churches to become Covenant Churches. Habitat Covenant Church agreements vary. Your church could organize a construction crew for a specific day or task, provide lunch at the construction site, collect a special offering for Habitat, recruit volunteers to serve on our committees or the Board, find a family partner, and include our work in your prayers. Our success depends on strong grassroots support, which comes from individuals, churches, small businesses, corporations, and other service organizations.

Michigan Tech Chapter

Michigan Technological University has a Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. This group traditionally participates in a “blitz build” during Orientation week at the university near the end of August each year.

Donating

If your volunteer time is already committed, consider offering support by sponsoring a house or through a donation of money, services, or materials. We are proud to have sponsors come back year after year with their commitment to Copper Country Habitat for Humanity. Individuals, churches, and companies that donate money, materials, and services greatly extend our ability to build low-cost decent, affordable, energy efficient housing.
