History of Tech Habitat for Humanity
The Texas Tech Habitat for
Humanity Campus Chapter was founded in the fall of 1993.
As an active Texas Tech University student organization, Tech Habitat performs a very important service to the Lubbock community by assisting in the construction of new homes for families in need in which to live and raise their children. The families work in partnership with Habitat for Humanity to build their homes. Working side by side with Lubbock Habitat for Humanity, Texas Tech University students, faculty, and staff, local High Schools and churches, and many others contribute to the building of these homes.
We
work consistently to serve the community throughout the year and
encourage others to do the same. This experience of giving to
the community will inevitably carry forward throughout our
lives, ultimately providing enrichment both to our community and
to our individual character.
We at Tech Habitat strive to sustain a
positive and effective working relationship with all Texas Tech
students, faculty, and staff by promoting activities that entail
working together as a team to bring about a beneficial
contribution to our community. Examples of this community
involvement include such activities as the Polar Bear 5K run,
annual home blitz build, car washes, homecoming events, and our
annual Ha-BOO-tat neighborhood Halloween party.
Another great example of Tech Habitat's involvement with the Lubbock community was the construction of the Tech Community Playground. The planning, fundraising, and construction of the playground spanned several years and was finally completed in early 2005. The Tech Community Playground, which is located in the Lubbock Habitat For Humanity neighborhood, will surely be enjoyed by all of the neighborhood children.
To be a member of Tech Habitat is to be someone who genuinely cares for the welfare of others. We are proud to serve Texas Tech University and the Lubbock community.
We invite all who have the spirit of caring and desire to help build a better future for humanity to join our organization and become an important benefactor to the preservation and advancement of humanity.
