Impact of You – Ebenezer Awards

The Ebenezer Awards honor those who have made a lasting impact on ICCF Community Homes’ mission: developing equitable opportunity, affordable homes, and thriving neighborhoods. This year, an Ebenezer Award was given to three individuals/groups who exemplify using their skills, time, and treasure to BUILD stronger communities.

Encounter Church

DOING GOOD: In 2023 and 2024, Encounter Church practiced their core value of “loving where they live” by partnering with ICCF Community Homes for Doing Good Month. The generous outpouring of support from the two-site church funded the restoration of three ICCF homes, inspired dozens of volunteers to donate time, and provided supplies for our emergency shelter, Family Haven.

Mick McGraw

HOMES TODAY & TOMORROW: For nearly 25 years, Mick McGraw has been a dedicated supporter of ICCF Community Homes. Motivated by his faith, he is a passionate advocate, spreading the word about ICCF Community Homes’ mission throughout West Michigan. Mick inspires others to get involved, encouraging them to become donors, volunteers, and partners. As a home builder, his company, Eastbrook Homes, is a key partner of ICCF helping to create affordable homeownership opportunities for families in our community.

Mortgage 1 Inc.

LASTING VOLUNTEER IMPACT: Mortgage 1 Inc.’s Dan Grzywacz, Scott Reilly, and Adam Tolley have made significant contributions to housing equity and accessibility in our community through their expertise in mortgage lending, community engagement, and financial education. In their 15 years of partnership, they have volunteered as teachers in our homeownership classes and have consistently donated to ICCF’s work.
