Mecosta County Habitat for Humanity - New Habitat for Humanity Home - The Mecosta County Habitat for Humanity (MCHFH) affiliate will be building a home this summer on the southeast corner of Woodward Avenue and Bailey Drive. The Charles and Geri Hurt family have donated this lot to MCHFH. It's just north of where Charles and Geri lived. It was Geri and especially Charles' desire that this lot be given to MCHFH and the children made sure that it happened. As their daughter Judi Feutz said at the closing "we children are not donating this lot but mom and dad are donating it". We have a family (mother and young son) who has been approved for this home and they will be assisting with the build. We welcome volunteers with the build and also any financial support. We will be setting up on our website www.mecostahabitat.org a means for people to donate to help the family with the down payment.
