Volunteers are needed to collect and pack books from campus and help transport them to the St. Paul warehouse. This program indirectly serves low-income people of Northfield, as well as all of the Community Action Center programs through the money raised from the merchandise sales.
Volunteers collect clothing donations from the various drop boxes around campus.
Each pickup requires only a few hours of work, and the time commitment is flexible. Opportunities are also available to work at the Clothes Closet, sorting and selling clothes. In 1996, Habitat for Humanity International celebrated 20 years of building homes and hope. It has built an estimated 55,000 houses worldwide, including nearly 300 in Minnesota. Habitat relies on donated funds and volunteer labor to provide homes for the working poor across the United States and throughout the world.
