We are only three days away from Fall Break! It is hard to believe it is all coming into fruition this Thursday. For those who don't know, our team is traveling to Tuscaloosa, Alabama (we still love our Vols), and our theme is Restoration of Substandard Housing. Since 2011, Tuscaloosa has been hit by two tornados that both left a wake of destruction in their paths, and the local Habitat for Humanity branch is making every effort possible to restore homes and hope for the residents of Tuscaloosa. Because of the large influence and impact Habitat has in this community, we couldn't think of a better organization to which we should devote our time. We see perseverance and light in Tuscaloosa in how they have come together in the midst of tragedy, and it is an honor to work alongside them and serve them in this way. On top of that, we can't wait to share this experience with you! We will be posting every night of our trip to keep you updated on all the things we are doing and what new and exciting opportunities we are experiencing.
Our mission is to provide an authentic and impactful experience in a community affected by natural disasters that promotes purposeful service and inspires lasting engagement and camaraderie. So, as we head down the highway on Thursday with overalls in our suitcases, we will be preparing to build relationships and build houses, which sounds like the beginning of an amazing fall break to me.
