Local project leaders say the group will discuss the building timeline and a groundbreaking ceremony during the meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church.

Two weeks ago the project purchased property on Liberty Street and a family is in the process of being approved for ownership.

The project is in need of volunteers, as well as material and cash donations. In addition to skilled labor, the project will need volunteers to help with non-construction tasks such as volunteer registration, meal service, office work, publicity, and transportation of volunteers and materials.

Donations can be made online at http://www.saginawhfh.org, or by calling the Saginaw Habitat for Humanity Office at (989) 753-5200. Donors should specify that their contribution is for the Chesaning project.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Applicants are selected on their need, ability to make a mortgage payment and willingness to work on their home during the construction process. Houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans.

Since 1987, Saginaw Habitat for Humanity has provided safe, permanent housing for over 500 people, including more than 320 children.
