Together, the team worked to measure, cut, and assemble siding for the home.

“It was a great experience working together outside of the hospital to serve the community in a different way,” says Assistant Professor Dr. Chinwendu Onwubiko. “We look forward to participating again next year."

About the UAB Annual Habitat House Build

Since the fall of 2014, UAB has sponsored an annual Habitat house build.

These builds have been made possible through the generosity of UAB employees and their contributions to the Benevolent Fund.

UAB employees' charitable donations help to make up the $50,000 required to sponsor a Habitat House build. Roughly 500 student and employee volunteers make this build possible each year through more than 2,000 hours of volunteer labor.
