St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity (SJHFH) is hosting 19 student volunteers from University of Wisconsin-River Falls during week of March 15th through the 21st.
SJHFH will provide them with most of their meals and a few nights of entertainment thanks to the generosity of local businesses and community partners.
Stoney Creek Inn will provide them with lodging during their stay.
Kerra Flatt, Stoney Creek Inn Manager, said, “We are glad St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity thought to ask us and we are glad to help because Habitat is such a worthy cause.”
“We are honored that St. Joseph was chosen as their spring break destination and look forward to having these student volunteers build with us,” said Rita Boyer, St. Joseph Habitat’s Volunteer Coordinator. “They will be working alongside future Habitat homeowners, volunteers and staff on a house that is currently under construction, located at 723 S. 14th St. and putting decking on two other foundations. The work they’ll do during this week will have a lasting impact on our community.”
St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity has partnered with 59 families and made their dreams of homeownership come true. With a requirement of 400 hours of homeowner labor and purchase of the home, SJHFH offers a hand-up, not a hand-out.
