Let’s get together and build hope
UM Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Habitat Build Project
As a faculty focused on health and social well-being, we believe that social responsibility and accountability are core values for our students, faculty and staff. Too many children and families cannot afford housing which has a detrimental effect on their health, education and self-esteem.
University of Manitoba faculty, staff and learners are joining forces to make a difference, to build a house for a family in need. The Rady Faculty of Health Sciences is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity Manitoba on our third build project and we are counting on your support to make this build a success!
WHEN: June 20 – 30, 2016, 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (weekdays)
WHERE: 299 Patrick Street
