Lake Trust Donates $25K to Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County Through Home Loan Giveback Program
Lake Trust Credit Union has donated $25,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County through its annual Home Loan Giveback Program, helping advance the construction of eight duplex homes and expand affordable housing opportunities for local families.
The donation was made in collaboration with Lake Trust members. Through the program, the credit union contributes $100 for every qualifying mortgage, refinance or home equity loan closed during a designated timeframe, transforming member home financing activity into support for housing-focused nonprofit organizations.
Since launching the Home Loan Giveback Program in 2019, Lake Trust members have helped generate more than $351,000 to support housing programs and initiatives across Michigan.
“Monroe has been an important part of Lake Trust’s story for many years, and following the opening of our Monroe relationship center last year, we’ve deepened our commitment to investing in the community,” said David Snodgrass, President and CEO of Lake Trust Credit Union. “Empowering homeownership is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back to the community. Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County is doing critical work to help local families achieve stability through homeownership, and we are proud to support that mission with this donation.”
Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County has served the region since 1995, building and repairing homes for individuals and families in need of safe, affordable housing. The organization works alongside volunteers and community partners to expand access to stable housing opportunities throughout Monroe County.
Lake Trust’s donation will support Habitat Monroe’s new year-round Tribute Giving Program, which matches up to $15,000 from donors. The contribution will double the impact of donations made through the program while furthering the organizations’ shared goal of creating lasting change in the community.
The gift also reflects Lake Trust’s continued investment in Monroe County. Since opening its Monroe Relationship Center in 2025, the credit union has expanded its local presence and strengthened its focus on housing access and long-term financial wellbeing in the community.
