CSU Baseball Team Finds Time to Give Back to Community
Columbus, GA - The Columbus State University baseball team took time from its busy schedule of preseason work to help give back to the community recently. The CSU players and coaches spent Saturday, October 25, working with the Columbus Area Habitat for Humanity organization.
CSU players spent the day at the Habitat warehouse on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Columbus building frames for the various building projects Habitat has underway in the Columbus region. The team worked two shifts - from 8 AM to noon and from noon to 4 PM. A total of 35 players and coaches participated.
Columbus Area Habitat for Humanity creates partnerships to construct and sell housing for those in need; building in communities that will be strengthened by these volunteer efforts. Habitat houses are sold to families at no profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, while individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build the houses. Families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor into building their own home and the homes of others. Mortgage payments to into the revolving fund for Humanity which is used to build more houses.
