MARQUETTE — This GivingTuesday, Marquette County Habitat for Humanity invites the community to come together to “Help Keep Our Neighbors Warm.” The organization has set a goal to raise $5,000 to assist with emergency furnace replacements for local homeowners in need.

When a furnace fails in the middle of an Upper Peninsula winter, it’s not just an inconvenience, it’s a crisis. Through its Home Repairs Program, MCHFH provides furnace replacements to ensure families have safe, reliable heat during the coldest months of the year. Each furnace replacement typically costs between $5,000 and $6,000, making community support critical to meeting urgent needs.

“We see firsthand how devastating a heating emergency can be for families living on a limited income,” said Henry Morley, Ramps and Repairs programs manager of Marquette County Habitat for Humanity. “Every donation this GivingTuesday helps us respond quickly when a furnace fails and keeps our neighbors safe and warm through the winter.”

GivingTuesday, celebrated on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, is a global day of generosity that encourages individuals and organizations to give back to their communities. All funds raised will directly support MCHFH’s efforts to address heating emergencies across Marquette County.
