Eminem is giving back to his hometown community, offering a recent donation to Hip Hop 4 Habitat to help meet the goal of building a home for a needy family.
According to The Detroit News, this morning (May 10) WJLB radio announced that the Detroit native contributed an undisclosed amount via his Marshall Mathers Foundation in order to help launch the program, which involves members of the hip-hop community working together to build a house.
Hip Hop 4 Habitat is seeking $75,000 in order to pay the costs of constructing the 1,100-square-foot house. The organization aims to build the home near Mack Avenue and Lakepointe Street on the east side of Detroit, over the course of one week in October.
Once the home is completed, Detroit rapper Trick Trick is slated to give a concert for the volunteers. Trick Trick has also announced plans to join the efforts to build the house.
"Hip Hop 4 Habitat is meant to be a positive project and a way for the hip-hop community to come together and support a family in need. We're so thankful Trick and Eminem are leading this effort," Alyce Hartman, founder of A Prophetic Generation, was quoted by the Detroit News. A Prophetic Generation is a non-profit organization that is partnering with Habitat for Humanity Detroit for the project.
Hip Hop 4 Habitat is currently looking for those involved in Detroit's hip-hop community, as well as other volunteers to help out by participating in the project. Those interested in volunteering can contact Habitat for Humanity Detroit at (313)521-6691.
