Having Fun Building Homes

Over spring break in 2024, the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship from PVCC will be going to Asheville, North Carolina, to help Habitat for Humanity build homes. Every spring break, Chi Alpha goes to different cities with Habitat for Humanity. When Chi Alpha members build the homes in Asheville, they will take turns cutting, hammering, and hauling wood. 

Co-leader of Chi Alpha men’s core group Christopher Cole said, ‘‘The purpose is to serve the less fortunate.” Christopher Cole has led many trips in past semesters for  Chi Alpha at PVCC.  He also said, ‘‘I like the opportunity to serve the less fortunate because that is what Jesus did. I enjoy serving others and relish the opportunity to love like God does.” 

The trip will last from March 3 to March 9, 2024. The purpose of this spring break event is to help the community in Asheville and make friendships that last forever. The students make friendships by helping each other and working together to build homes for the community. The cost of the spring break event is $60 if paid in cash or check or $62 when paying by Venmo. In Asheville, Chi Alpha members will likely be staying at a church.

PVCC student and Chi Alpha leader Jacob Fitzgerald said, ‘‘I want to help out the community, and students are helping to make a better community and also here to make friendships that last forever.”  

Some students will be helping out Habitat for Humanity in Asheville, and other students will be going to other cities to help out. Habitat for Humanity staff and students help build homes for people who need them.

Students can apply by contacting student leaders or adult leaders. The student leaders are Timothy, Jacob Fitzgerald, Will,  Jada, and others. You can also contact the Chi Alpha staff by chialpha.com/contact/
