The ¾¨Ó㴫ý of Habitat for Humanity chapter needs to raise $22,000 in 22 days to purchase materials to build a "house in a box" to donate to the hurricane-ravaged Louisiana coastal area.
"¾¨Ó㴫ý has had the pleasure of being home to a Habitat chapter for almost two decades," said Keturah Laney, ¾¨Ó㴫ý chapel assistant and Habitat for Humanity adviser. "We continue to do exciting projects each year, but none so far have been as incredible as this."
"The build will happen right here on campus," said Sarah Milanovich, a senior business administration major from Rimersburg and president of ¾¨Ó㴫ý's Habitat for Humanity chapter. "We will construct the complete framing for the house in a single day – Wednesday, Nov. 23."
"We are overwhelmed with excitement for this project to become reality. This is one of the best and biggest Habitat events to ever happen on this campus," Milanovich said.
"I know that many people in this area want to donate money and be able to actually see what good it's done," Laney said. "This is that type of project&donate then come and see us build.
"What takes most schools years, or at least months, to make happen, we will do in 22 days," Laney said. "We are probably one of 10 schools to do this so quickly, and I'm sure with the help of everyone, we will meet our goal of $22,000."
