MSU and Starkville Habitat Break Ground on 6th Maroon Edition House

August 15, 2014 by admin33

MSU and Starkville Habitat have broken ground on the 6th Maroon Edition House. This project is part of MSU’s Maroon Edition First Year Reading Experience to engage incoming students, faculty and staff in service learning projects in the community. Located at 84 Murdoch Lane in the Sunset Subdivision West of Starkville, the home is being built for Angela Lindsey and her four children.

At the Groundbreaking Ceremony, Ms. Lindsey and all four children spoke thanking MSU and Starkville Habitat for this opportunity to move from their small, dilapidated apartment in a crime filled complex to a safe, decent affordable home that they can call their own. Also at the groundbreaking, MSU President Mark Keenum presented a $5,000 check from the MSU Foundation. Also speaking was Walton Chaney
president of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity which had previously donated $20,000 from their annual Charity Bowl.

The Maroon Volunteer Center at MSU coordinates the volunteer shifts which will be on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Friday and Saturday (except for home games) until the house is completed. MSU Staff and Students can sign up to volunteer online using their MSU ID Number. Others can call the Habitat office at 662-324-7008 to sign up.
