On October 18, 2025, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley teamed up with Republic Services for the West Willow Neighborhood Fall Beautification Day in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The event brought the community together to make improvements to West Willow Park.
Our Metro Detroit team worked alongside West Willow neighbors to install park upgrades, clean and organize the community center and refresh the neighborhood’s tool lending library.
Through a National Neighborhood Promise® grant from the Republic Services Charitable Foundation, Habitat and community partners also made major park improvements, including paved ADA-accessible parking, a half-sized basketball court, soccer goals, shaded seating, exercise stations, new trash and recycling bins and updated signs.
Together, these efforts are creating a safer and more welcoming space for everyone. Thank you to all who helped make a difference!
