Ohio Northern University’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter sent 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 built homes for families in need. The habitat work teams traveled to Sumter, S.C., Jackson, Miss., and Davidson, N.C., and partner with Habitat for Humanity affiliates to work on homes in the area.
