Macomb Habitat works to build decent, safe shelters for Macomb County residents in Macomb County neighborhoods. While many Habitat for Humanity volunteers have construction or home handyman experience, volunteers don't need any special skills -- just plenty of enthusiasm. Working on a Habitat project is a great way to meet people, do something for others and improve our Macomb County neighborhoods.

Volunteer orientations are held every month; just check the link above for a schedule.
