The Fullerton Community Rotaract Club (FCRC) Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity”
The Fullerton Community Rotaract Club volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Orange County at the San Juan Capistrano site Saturday February 20, 2010. Habitat has many different opportunities to volunteer, such as hospitality, faith relations and youth activities. FCRC members chose to help with the construction site. The 5 volunteers on the 20th helped paint the trim on houses and swept the floors of the houses as they became dirty. At this location there were 5 houses being built at one time. Habitat builds houses for families in need; some could be soldiers from Iraq or a family with a member that requires medical help or a family that strives to live in a better community. The families that receive these houses have to do a certain amount of hours to help build their house if they are 18 years or older and are physically able to do so. FCRC is planning to volunteer with Habitat at least once a month. All of the club members feel honored to be working with such a great organization. They are serving others before themselves, just as Rotary’s motto states, “Service above Self.”.
