Goshen College stepped in to help one of its own employees build a house through Habitat for Humanity. Eddie Mayorga and his family were well on their way to receiving a house when federal funding fell through. By hosting various fundraisers and offering hands to help build, the college committed to helping make a dream possible for this 10-plus year employee in the college’s Physical Plant Department.
