Alternate Spring Break 1997

Habitat for Humanity
Fort Worth, TX


The Fort Worth, Texas trip was a Habitat for Humanity site. We worked on some Habitat houses in the Fort Worth community and in the Texas countryside. In addition, we built offices and prepared materials for the Restore. A restore is where Habitat salvages and sells materials from buildings that are scheduled to be demolished.




Ironically we lived on that street corner- the intersection of our two worlds.












Check out the Habitat for Humanity website for descriptions of the work they do.
