Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer of the Year
Each year, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley recognizes the support and contributions from a dedicated volunteer of our local affiliate with the Robert L. Whitacre Volunteer of the Year Award. This award honors the men and women who carry Bob’s legacy through their dedication to Habitat.
This year, Habitat honored Gary Hausman. Gary has been a steadfast supporter and an integral part of Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley since 2001. After retiring from a 35-year career at Ford Motor Company, he chose to give back by volunteering with us. Since then, he has generously contributed his time every week, playing a vital role in our finance department. His work has been instrumental in ensuring the financial stability of our organization, and we deeply appreciate his commitment, advocacy, and enthusiasm for our mission.
When he first began, Habitat managed fewer than 40 homeowner mortgages and had no home repair loans. Today, that number has grown to 140 mortgages and approximately 390 home repair loans. Gary's dedication each week keeps us organized and operating smoothly!
Beyond his technical expertise, what makes Gary truly remarkable is his unwavering dedication to community service. He and his wife, Mary Beth, are active leaders who champion social causes and work to create positive change. His reliability, strong sense of responsibility, and steady presence make him an integral part of our team.
We are so fortunate to have such a committed volunteer, and we express our deepest gratitude to Gary for 25 years of incredible support!
