Volunteers make TCHFH houses into homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Dunwoody] partners with TCHFH several times a year to support their effort,\u201d said Pepe Wonosikou, student services advisor. \u201cMost projects depend on the worksite and may consist of installing windows and doors, siding, shingles, measuring, cutting, nailing and hauling construction supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only is volunteering an outstanding way to give back, but it also serves as a tool to make connections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe these kinds of projects help our student\u2019s network and make important connections with the community as well as developing experience and relationships in their field of study,\u201d said Pepe.<\/p>\n<p>To accomplish as much work as possible for the site on January 16, Dunwoody is hoping for a group of eight to 12 people.<\/p>\n<p>Are you a Dunwoody student, faculty or staff member who would like to volunteer?
