Habitat for Humanity home dedicated with Aquinas College students

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- Hours of work done by students of Aquinas College led to a dedication today. The college partnered with Habitat for Humanity to gut a 1940's home in Grand Rapids and renovate it to LEED standards, making it more environmentally friendly. The home also has insulation made from more than 730 pounds of recycled blue jean collected by the students last spring. Aquinas is the first college in West Michigan to underwrite and complete an entire Habitat home.
