Call for volunteers: Habitat for Humanity workday is 6/11/2011
By Anton Zuiker
Eugene Oddone, MD, MHS, professor of medicine (General Internal Medicine) and director of the Clinical Research Training Program, invites Department of Medicine faculty, fellows and residents to participate in a volunteer workday with Habitat for Humanity of Durham on Sat., June 11.
Volunteers from the Department of Medicine will work on one house on Worth St. in Durham, and there will be a morning or afternoon shifts, with space for 25 people on each shift. An evening dinner will give all an opportunity to share their highlights from day.
Habitat for Humanity of Durham works in partnership with hard-working families in need of housing and people like you in the community to build simple, decent and affordable homes. The homes are built largely with volunteer labor, and then sold at no profit with a no-interest loan.
One of the houses to be built by the Medicine crew will belong to the Coleman family, pictured at right. Their home is being built in partnership with the Hershfield-Rosenthal (Michael Hershfield, MD, professor of medicine) and Replogle families.
"Building a home for another family is a very satisfying thing to do," says Oddone, a regular volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Mary Klotman, MD, chair of the department, is planning to participate.
Sign up below for either the 8:15am-12noon or 12:45pm-4:00pm shift.
