OAK RIDGE, TN (October 13, 2009) – This month, as many students are taking time to relax during fall break, a group of students from Western Kentucky University traveled to East Tennessee to be a part of Habitat for Humanity of Anderson County’s building and rehab efforts. The group, made up of nine members of Western Kentucky University’s Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter, worked on reinforcing the drainage system at Habitat’s Hickory Ridge Subdivision in Clinton as well as rehab work on a house in Oak Ridge.

Habitat for Humanity of Anderson County would like to offer special thanks to the following groups, businesses, and individuals who helped provide hospitality for the volunteers: Patty and Dave Campbell, First Presbyterian Church, Taco Bell, and Venice Pizza & Grill.
