staff & board
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures.
​
At Manitowoc County Habitat for Humanity, this is what unites us. Through shelter, we empower.
