Shak-A-Thon

Shak-A-Thon is an annual JC Habitat for Humanity fundraiser to raise awareness about poverty housing in the Huntingdon area and nationally. At the same time, we raise money to assist in building houses during the spring break Collegiate Challenge. This experience opens the eyes of the participants, allowing them to experience exactly what it is like to sleep outdoors in the winter.

New York Times

We deliver the New York Times newspapers on Juniata’s campus. This is a large fundraiser for JCHfH, where we are paid to deliver newspapers to academic and the dormitory buildings every weekday. This program allows us to raise money and educate the campus simultaneously.

Hire-A-Habitator

Club members do work for faculty members. This is a good way to see a different side of you professors. Jobs include cleaning barns of the professors, babysitting their children, running their parents to Bingo, cleaning windows, raking leaves, and shoveling snow. You also get to know someone new by working with them in a job.

Taping Kepple

As a fundraiser, Habitat tapes the President of JC to the wall of the gym during a volleyball game. People are charged $1 per yard to help keep the president attached to the wall. The money raised benefits habitat.

ACT! SPEAK! BUILD! Week

This is a nationwide week-long event that raises awareness for Habitat for Humanity. Juniata College works with hundreds of colleges nationwide to advocate HfH. Juniata’s events include: hundreds of posters, displays, annual kickball game, awareness dinner, wear you hammer day, nail hammering contest, and a petition to local congressmen about poverty housing.
