On Wednesday, September 28, the CLC sponsored a Habitat work day to serve a local veteran in need. The homeowner, Mr. Wilson, is a veteran of the US Army, served during World War II and later was an employee of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. Staff and faculty joined in the efforts. This day’s 12-person effort also included staff from the WFU biology department and WFU IS.
The home repairs included: partial demo of the home’s back deck and steps; front porch ceiling removal and replacement; basement water removal; tree cutting and landscape debris removal; gutter cleaning; new deck material cutting/drilling; and pressure-washing back deck, back steps and front ramp.
The Repair Corps Program is part of Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to support veteran homeowners in need and is provided in partnership with the Home Depot. The CLC regularly supports servant leadership opportunities such as these that also further exemplify of the University’s motto pro humanitate, for humanity.
Please join SB staff and faculty colleagues for a reflection on servant leadership October 28 at 11:30 am. Special guest speaker will be long-time local news anchor, writer and author, and WFU alum, Cameron Kent.
