Despite being a first year club at CHS, Habitat for Humanity is certainly not lacking in name recognition.

“Habitat [for Humanity] is the biggest nonprofit international organization that provides housing and shelter for those who are less fortunate,” club president and senior Jack Byrne said. “Branches of the organization stem from across the country and the world.”

The CHS chapter fundraises to support Habitat for Humanity and has been featured in both the Potomac Day parade and the Silver Spring Thanksgiving Day parade.

“Small fundraisers have been held and will be held in the future, such as restaurant percentages and gingerbread house workshops in time for the holiday season,” Byrne said.

However, the club will be doing a lot more than just small fundraisers. According to Byrne, the main focus of the chapter is to build homes for the needy, which it will begin in spring 2010.

Over 100 students have already signed up for the club, though it is always in need of new members who want to help the community.

“[I want to] let Churchill students know that working with [Habitat for Humanity] has been one of the most self-fulfilling parts of my life,” Byrne said. “No matter what level of significance, any person who contributes to Habitat for Humanity still makes a huge impact on the world.”
