What we've done in the past

Shanty town at Sierra College

Last year the club sponsored an on-campus event to educate students and the community at large on the issue of homelessness. Club members along with a few brave faculty members camped out on campus for the 2 night event in a makeshift shantytown. The club collected coats during the event and donated them to a local non-profit organization and also had a free soup line.

Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Work

Last year a group of students from our club traveled to Redding, CA and spent their spring-break week working together with the Habitat for Humanity organization building homes for families in need. The organization has built more than 200,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1,000,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter www.habitat.org.
