New Orleans 2012
Each year, the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University sponsors an alternative spring break service trip to New Orleans.This year will be working with New Orleans Habitat for Humanity


Students assist with ongoing construction projects in an overall effort to help rebuild
New Orleans following the devastating Katrina Hurricane of 2005.  This important work happens primarily through your generosity. All of our volunteers are students, and many of them rely on the support of our scholarship funds. Any money raised above and beyond their trip expenses will be given to New Orleans Habitat for Humanity, our host in New Orleans
, who reach out to the many homeless in the city.

All donations made through this page will be directed to the general Scholarship Fund. If you would like to direct your contribution to a specific student, click on f

"If there is a poor man

among you,

one of your brothers,

in any of the towns

of the land

which the LORD

your God

is giving you,

you shall not

harden your heart,

nor close your hand

to your poor brother;

but you shall freely

open your hand to him,

and generously lend him

sufficient for his need

in whatever he lacks."
