We Put Faith Into Action Our mission is seeking to put God’s love into action; Habitat brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, OH is a faith-based organization that envisions Miami and Shelby Counties as a place where every resident has access to quality and affordable homeownership opportunities. We seek to build self-sufficiency for residents in need through the life-changing opportunity of homeownership. We want to see vibrant neighborhoods where engaged homeowners participate in building safe and healthy communities. Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, OH defines “need” as someone earning 30-50% of the average median income (AMI) for the Miami and Shelby County area. That equates to roughly a $18,050 annual income for a family of four at 30% AMI. Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, OH relies on Individuals, Churches, Corporations, and Foundations to provide the financial and in-kind resources necessary to construct or rehabilitate the homes. Annually, HFHMSCO also relies on hundreds of volunteers that provide the labor to construct and rehab the homes. All this allows HFHMSCO to provide monthly mortgage rates around $300 – $500.

Today we are grateful to Matt Homan of Dicke's Lawn Service, along with the dedicated teachers and talented students of Upper Valley Career Center Landscaping and Natural Resources class, for their work laying sod and completing the landscaping at the two Habitat homes dedicated this past December. Not only did your efforts help transform these houses into truly beautiful homes, but they also provided a valuable hands-on learning opportunity for students to apply their skills in a real-world setting and make a meaningful difference in our community. Thank you for your hard work, generosity, and commitment to both education and service!

Please join us to celebrate the impact of Match Day this year! All are welcome to attend TODAY, Wednesday, March 25 at 4:00 PM at the Historic Sidney Theatre. This free event brings our community together to celebrate the generosity that supports the 30 participating charities. During the celebration, The Community Foundation of Shelby County will announce the final Match Day total and the amount each organization will receive. This year, the funds raised for Habitat for Humanity will be used to support the purchase of a new vehicle for organizational use. This vehicle will enable our team to safely and efficiently transport staff, volunteers, tools, and building materials to project sites. Reliable transportation is essential to maintaining consistent build schedules, expanding our reach within the community, and responding to emerging needs. The use of an organizational vehicle will strengthen the execution of our mission to build homes, communities, and hope.

Last week Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties had the privilege of celebrating the groundbreaking of a new home that will be built in Sidney in 2026. The ceremony was held Thursday at 2pm on the site of the future home. Home sponsor Cargill sent Cargill Cares Committee member Amanda Matheny to speak to the partnership with Habitat. "The Cargill Cares Committee of Sidney is proud to sponsor this Habitat for Humanity construction project in memory of the late Mickey Hamer, longtime Cargill employee and Habitat board member. Mickey lived a life defined by giving, serving, and lifting others up. His impact on this community can still be felt in countless ways, and we are deeply honored to help carry that legacy forward today," said Matheny. We are incredibly grateful for Cargill's partnership and support. We were also joined by Sidney First Methodist Church reverend Eileen Hix who gave the blessing, Sidney Mayor Mike Barhorst, and Shelby County Commissioner Mack Knupp, who spoke about how the project will impact the Sidney neighborhood. Habitat Board member and D&S Construction owner Sean Rank will serve as Construction Supervisor.
