Marian University to Partner with Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County to Raise Awareness of Substandard Housing
5/7/2008
Many of us at night get to sleep in a warm bed with a dry roof over our head, and many of us may just take this granted. To experience what it may be like to not have these luxuries, Marian University participants will be building cardboard shanty shelters from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM on Thursday, May 8. The participating 25 students, faculty and staff will then spend the night in their shanties and leave them up for public viewing until 1:00 PM on Friday, May 9.
 Participants will be collecting pledges to partake in this event and these monies will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County. Habitat will be building two houses this summer for two partnering families in need of affordable and basic shelter.
