God’s HandyPeople

A Michigan 501(c)(3)

We fix the small things that make home hard.

Our purpose is to improve the living conditions of individuals in need. We are a group of volunteers in Oakland County. The labor is free; you pay what you can afford toward materials.

Honest about the work

What we do

  • Provide labor at no cost.
  • Take on smaller projects that match our volunteers’ skills.
  • Meet with you first to agree on goals and expectations.
  • Sometimes add our own funding to make a home safer or more comfortable.

What we are not

  • We are not contractors or licensed tradespeople.
  • We don’t take on work beyond our volunteers’ skill level.
  • We can’t always cover materials.
