From March 1 to March 5, members of Holy Family University’s Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter spent their Spring Break volunteering for the service organization. Since 2007, the University’s Campus Chapter has traveled to build homes for those struggling with poverty in places like Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
For this year’s service project, students were unable to travel because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the students volunteered in West Norriton Township in Montgomery County, PA at ReStore, a Habitat for Humanity location which reopened in August 2021 after being closed for 10 months because of an electrical fire. The students helped organize, clean, paint, and repair furniture and other items in the store.
