YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley in an effort to give back and build homes in the Ypsilanti community. A total of eight groups of student-athletes worked four hour shifts at four work sites from May 15-18.
Over the past four days the Eagles worked tirelessly together in a variety of construction efforts to build these homes for their community. With day one consisting of demolition duties, the Eagles followed the next few days painting and installing insulation, siding, and landscaping.
The Eagles worked together to fundraise and accepted donations for the cause via this website. Together, the Eagles are on the way to reaching their goal of raising $10,000.
Established in 1989, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley is based out of Washtenaw County and is ranked first in the nation for amount of renovated homes (over 200 have been built to date). To qualify as a Habitat homeowner, a $1,000 down payment is required as well as a minimum of 250 hours of work (per adult house member) in building their home. Looking to the future and continuing to grow, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley has a goal to renovate 20 homes per year, every year, by 2020.
