Blue Water Habitat for Humanity celebrated 35 years of helping families in the Blue Water Area last Tuesday at Alexander’s Premier Banquet Facility in Port Huron. The event honored retiring Executive Director Ernest Werth-Toward, who led the nonprofit since ’08, overseeing programs like ReStore and Rock the Block, which brings hundreds of volunteers together to improve neighborhoods. Habitat helps local families build affordable homes through volunteer “sweat equity” and homeowner education. Interim Director Kara Geib praised Werth-Toward’s collaborative leadership and lasting impact on staff, volunteers, and the community.
