GOOD NEWS COMMITTEE
HISTORY & RESOURCES

HISTORY

The Good News Group is comprised of 14+ congregations pooling their resources to provide a joint outreach ministry to our community in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley (HHHV).

Good News Group Founder Bob Whitacre formed the Good News Group in 1997. Initially, each summer build season, we built one new house, but in 2009 we switched to renovating two foreclosed homes, helping stabilize neighborhoods along with providing low mortgage homes. Each congregation in our group supports our projects by providing a representative to serve on our steering committee, contributing to the funding goal and by providing construction volunteers during the build season.

38 Good News families
