The heart of Northwest Michigan Habitat For Humanity beats with the collective passion and dedication of our exceptional team. From our administrative leaders to the ReStore team and our devoted Board Members, each member plays a crucial role in driving our mission to provide safe and affordable housing in Emmet and Charlevoix counties.

Our administrative leaders, with their wealth of experience and unwavering commitment, set the course for our organization’s success. They guide us with vision, ensuring every aspect of our work is executed with excellence. Whether it’s strategic planning, community engagement, or resource management, their leadership forms the cornerstone of our endeavors.

The ReStore team brings boundless energy to our mission. Their dedication to our cause is visible every day as they transform donated goods into treasures for others to enjoy. Their hard work doesn’t just stock our shelves; it fuels our mission by generating essential funds for home building.
