Blog: Giving Thanks for My "Other" Family
|
I have spent a great deal of time this year blogging about the many volunteers and donors that make Macomb Habitat work. They are essential in meeting our core mission of providing community, homes and hope to the many families we serve in the Macomb area.
But there is one group of people that I’d like to talk about today and for whom I am extremely grateful.
My staff!

We have been blessed this year with a team of five Ford Motor Company employees in their 30 Under 30 Program studying our affiliate and preparing some great ideas to help our mission. The team presented their findings for the six nonprofits and for Ford senior management personnel. The creativity unleashed will continue! Thank you to our team for all of your hard work, creative thinking, time and investment in our mission at Macomb Habitat this year!
