Eagles to work on a pair of houses in Ypsilanti Township on May 15-18
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University football team is partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley to assist in building homes in the Ypsilanti community. A total of eight groups of student-athletes will be working four hour shifts at two different locations on May 15-18.
The Eagles will be taking donations for the cause via this website in hopes of reaching their goal of $10,000.
"This project is something that we have talked about doing since January and it is finally here," said EMU Head Coach Chris Creighton. "It will be an awesome team building time for our program and we hope to make a real difference in our community. Habitat for Humanity is an outstanding organization and we are genuinely excited about working with them."
Established in 1989, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley has built or renovated over 200 homes in Washtenaw County. Habitat homeowners qualify for an affordable mortgage from Habitat, make a $1,000 down payment, and put in at least 250 hours (per adult household member) of "sweat equity" building their home. Habitat has expanded to provide home improvement projects to low-income families in neighborhoods already targeted, providing over 500 such projects since 2011.
