Energy Provider Will Donate $1 for Every $2 Raised.
April 1st, 2025 – Manistee County Habitat for Humanity and Consumers Energy have teamed up once again to provide financial support to Habitat affiliates across the state of Michigan. MANISTEE COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY has set a local goal of $25,000 to help fund critical housing needs in MANISTEE COUNTY.
Through the Power of Home campaign, Consumers Energy will donate $1 for every $2 raised through individual Habitat donations, up to $100,000.
Manistee County Habitat for Humanity has focused on assisting Manistee residents the ability to stay in their home with their Handicap Assessable Ramp Program and will complete a missing middle home in June and start another new home for a partner family at 80% of our area median income.
Manistee County Habitat for Humanity Board Member, Mick Symanski said, “Thanks to this match from Consumers Energy, & donors the funding will go further at a time when the ‘Power of Home’ is more important than ever.
