MSU's Habitat for Humanity House Build
As part of the service activities related to our read of "A Painted House" MSU has partnered with Starkville Habitat for Humanity to build (and paint!) a Habitat for Humanity house. Freshmen participating in Service Dawgs will make a big push on the house starting August 10. By then, the site pictured here will be cleared and ready for volunteers. After the initial push, the rest of the MSU family will join in the effort. Hope to see you at the house!
