(click on the thumbnail for a larger picture) There has been a number of events we have held here at St. Vincent College to help promote awareness and to fundraise in effort to help reduce poverty housing! 1. Act! Speak! Build! Week is a nationwide advocacy program in which each chapter educates themselves and their communities about poverty housing and how social action can easily stimulate change. We have not yet planned our activities for the this years event, which takes place between March 31 an April 6, but the opportunities are endless. In the past, we have held Candle lit vigils to help reflect on poverty housing and made aware to the entire campus statistics of poverty in our communities and state. 2. During the Christmas season, our club holds campus wide Gingerbread house building competitions. The winner is awarded a prize, while those participants are challenged to creatively expand their minds. 3. In the Fall Semester, the club teams up with other college organizations during Fall Fest (Homecoming Weekend and Carnival). During this time, the club thinks of a game in which all ages can play, while the benefits go to the school. This time has always proven as a time for students and prospective students to recognize Habitat's true nature. 4. The club has engaged in community service activities throughout the community, such as raking leaves for locals and helping them prepare their property for the harsh winter months. 5. Finally, the Collegiate Challenge Alternative Spring Break Trip has been more than successful in the past 2 years for St. Vincent. The club has attracted more than 25 students along with St. Vincent professors to join in the festivities of the Collegiate Challenge. Last year for Spring Break, the club adventured to Mobile, Alabama to help build a home from the concrete up in effort to provide a roof and running water for Hurricane Katrina victims. In conjunction with this experience, AmeriCorp and NC State worked alongside the students and professors to help kick start the journey. This past Spring Break, the club adventured to Biloxi, Mississippi to help do the same alongside numerous universities, such as Michigan State. Thus, the Habitat for Humanity Chapter at St. Vincent College has built 2 homes in 2 years for Hurricane Katrina victims.
