On Friday night, January 10th, Habitat for Humanity hosted a Beans and Rice benefit dinner for the Addison County Habitat for Humanity Chapter.
Students who joined us for the dinner swiped their cards at Cook dining hall, donating the difference between an average Middlebury meal and the cost of beans and rice to Habitat for Humanity of Addison County.
Our event raised $250.00, an amount that we will be proud to present to our affiliate chapter.
We would like to acknowledge the efforts of Dining Services, especially those of Mr. Peter Napolitano, Russell Hulst and Chef Ian Martin. Habitat provided musicians and volunteers to set up tables and do some dishes, but essentially Dining Services hosted the event.
Without their organization, problem solving, and enthusiasm this dinner would not have been possible. Peter Napolitano approved the event and offered us many ideas. Russell Hulst and Ian Martin were generous in donating their services to help organize, cook, and clean.
Their willingness to work with students in executing these sorts of ideas is exactly what makes Middlebury a community in which we are happy to live and learn.
We thank Dining Services for making this a good experience and hope to be involved in similar collaborations in the future.
