A community-funded grant program where neighbors, local pros, and businesses pool resources to help Mid-Michigan homeowners in need — starting with backup generators before winter. Powered by a partnership between MI Home Hub and ESCON Power Solutions, amplified by Midland Local.
Every dollar helps a Mid-Michigan family
Stripe payment processing coming soon — donations recorded to the fund.
Mid-Michigan homeowners facing real hardship — fixed income, elderly, or those with a medical need for reliable backup power. Recipients are selected quietly and respectfully.
A fully funded, professionally installed backup generator — or another home-critical project — at no cost to the family. Every install is done by a vetted MI Home Hub pro.
Three community streams: online donations from neighbors, MI Home Hub pro sponsorships, and local-business Powering a Neighbor nights — all flowing into one transparent fund.
A local restaurant or shop picks an evening and donates a share of sales to the fund. MI Home Hub provides the promotion and the community buzz. Easy for the business, meaningful for the family.
Beyond a direct donation, there are two other ways to move resources to neighbors in need.
MI Home Hub pros can back the fund through annual sponsorships, earning recognition and a Good Neighbor badge on their profile.

Full annual report published each January. Recipient families are always kept anonymous.
A family in need. A nomination from someone who knows them. A quiet selection process. Then an install day — and a reveal that reminds the whole community what it means to be a neighbor.
Hubbie is the throughline. He shows up to every install, every reveal, and every story — because that's what you do for a neighbor. This winter, Hubbie's helping someone stay warm who couldn't otherwise afford to.
Recipient families are always kept private. Their story is shared only with their full blessing.
