Happy Sunday Habitaters!

First of all, thank you to everybody that made Food Truck Rally such a success! With the help of those who donated and volunteered their time, we were able to raise $600!! It was a great way to start off the semester and we are excited for more awesome events like this one 😊 

Speaking of awesome events, there are multiple happening this upcoming week:

This is just a reminder that Collegiate Challenge applications will be closing this upcoming Tuesday 1/31 at MIDNIGHT. Collegiate Challenge is an alternative service learning and volunteer spring break trip where a group of UF students (like you!!) travel to different Habitat affiliates and spend their spring break week building houses and building friendships! You can find more information on the trips HERE and the application can be found HERE. If you have any questions about the applications or Collegiate Challenge in general, feel free to get in contact with me and I will be more than happy to help. Again, applications close TUESDAY NIGHT so apply soon!

~CHIPOTLE FUNDRAISER WEDNESDAY 2/1-

Can you believe it is already almost February? What better way to kick off the month of ~love~ with the true loves of our lives (Habitat for Humanity+Chipotle), amirite? The fundraiser will be from 5 to 9 PM at the University Ave Chipotle so come eat some delicious burritos/tacos/salads/etc. and support our organization! Attached in this email is a flyer to show the cashier when you pay or you can simply mention you are with UF Habitat for Humanity. Here is the Facebook event with all the details so you don’t forget- we hope to see you there!

If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to get in touch with me or any of the other Habitat officers via email or Facebook message.  

Again, thank you for making the start of this semester so successful- our club would not be as great as it is without every single one of you. Know that your hard work and dedication to Habitat is noticed and appreciated. We hope you have a great week and that we will see you at all of our fun events!
