Habitat for Humanity
Campus Chapter
Saint Mary’s University's on-campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity partners with Habitat for Humanity International to bring its mission statement to life.
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God’s love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
