Millcreek Valley Habitat for Humanity

Volunteer Dan Dallmer will be taking a group of UC students to Lanatt, Alabama over spring break to build a house there. Their home will be the first of the Chattahoochee Initiative sponor by The Fuller Center and the City Council of Lanatt. The Fuller Center is headed by Habitat for Humanity founder, Millard Fuller. Dan explains that Lanat was once a thriving area with over 15,000 mill jobs. Lately this region has fallen on hard times, and has been further stressed by families that have relocated from Hurricane Katrina. In order to prepare for the trip, Dan and volunteers pre-cut wood in the Millcreek Valley warehouse, and assembled walls in space donated by Green Realty. This will serve as training for the 11 UC students who will make the trip with Dan. They will be in Lanatt during UC’s Spring Break, March 19-23. The trip is being paid for by the personal donations of UC trustees.
