Ohio Northern University’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter will send 110 students on work trips for spring break March 1-7.
Instead of heading down south for a week on a beach with friends, these ONU students will build homes for families in need. The habitat work teams will travel to Sumter, S.C., Jackson, Miss., and Davidson, N.C., and partner with Habitat for Humanity affiliates to work on homes in the area.
The spring break work trips have been the chapter’s tradition for 25 years.
