The Hobart and William Smith Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity is cosponsoring
the building of house #12, the fourth in the city of Geneva and second of
seven to be constructed in the same area. HFHOC will be responsible for construction and organization of HWS volunteers as well as others from the community and county at 32 Hawkins Ave. , in the city, on the lot next to house #11, built last year.
The campus chapter has already provided about 1/3 of the funding needed
and are planning to provide about half the volunteers expected during “Blitz Week”,
beginning August 22nd through the 29th, this year. The office of Community Engagement
and Service-Learning, working with HFHOC and campus chapter students is organizing
volunteer groups and continuing fundraising efforts. Incoming freshmen, along with campus regulars and faculty will be offered the opportunity to volunteer on this HWS build.
The family, selected by the HFHOC Board of directors, for this home is that of
Chris and Carolyn Matuszak, with children Veronica, Zachary and Elizabeth. They are currently living with relatives in an overcrowded situation. Chris is employed at PACTIV, in Canandaigua.
