Cornell Helps with Area Habitat for Humanity
ITHACA, N.Y. -- While many Cornell students were celebrating the
end of spring semester classes on Saturday, members of the Big Red
women's hockey team were donating their time for the Habitat for
Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties. The project underway
was a home in Lansing on Women Build Weekend for Habitat for
Humanity.
In all, eight members of the Cornell women's hockey program
assisted with construction on the day for the house that will
eventually be home to the Gagnon family. Saturday's work included
building walls and working on the floor for the one-story home.
Groundbreaking for the house began in mid-February, and
construction is expected to be completed later this summer.
