The Lebanon Valley College (LVC) chapter of Habitat for Humanity delivered cardboard playhouses to local Habitat homeowner, Liz Cruz, and her children this week.
LVC students worked on the playhouses and also set them up at various community service events. When the playhouses are complete, they are packaged flat and require very minimal assembly when delivered. “The three young children were scrambling in and out of the house, delivering mail to each other, and giggling the entire time. The LVC students definitely delivered smiles for the holidays,” stated Cheryl Hemperly, Public Relations and Development Manager for Habitat for Humanity of Lebanon County.
“It takes awhile to complete the houses…but it’s great to see the smiles on kids faces when we deliver them! It was also nice to see the house completely finished and decorated for the holidays,” said LVC Habitat for Humanity chapter president, David Corvino. Corvino has been involved with the Habitat chapter for all four years in college. He worked on Cruz’s home on Elm Street, along with other students from LVC.
The LVC chapter of Habitat for Humanity has about 45 active members. The students finished working on Cruz’s home in October and are now helping with a Habitat build in Elizabethtown. “My favorite part of Habitat is helping to better the community. Volunteering builds relationships… and it inspires me to pay it forward,” said Corvino.
