Here is information about the Homecoming Build:
"The Clemson University Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity completed its first Homecoming Build in 1994. Since then, we have gathered each fall on Bowman Field to build a home in the ten days prior to the Homecoming Celebration! In 2001, we organized a "Blitz Build," completing five homes, and in 2003, we spurred the building of the first ever Youth United home in partnership with D.W. Daniel High School in Central, SC."
"The Homecoming House Project on Bowman Field has become a standing tradition for Clemson Habitat. It requires the efforts of over 500 students and over 2100 hours of service to build a home in such a short period of time. The student volunteers cannot do it alone—strong community partnerships with the local affiliate (Pickens County Habitat for Humanity), businesses, government organizations, and citizens make this project a success every year. Having innumerable benefits, this highly publicized and recognizable event partners with Habitat family partners to build their home. It is an excellent opportunity to bring together the faculty and students of Clemson with their community and also with the homeowner."

Here is information about Habitat for Humanity:
"Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity challenges people of all faith traditions and cultural backgrounds to join in partnership with low-income families to improve the conditions in which they live. Through volunteer labor and the donation of both money and materials, Habitat for Humanity builds and renovates houses in partnership with homeowners families. Houses are sold at no profit to partner families, financed with affordable, no interest mortgages. Habitat is not a giveaway program, but is a partnership in which those who benefit from the program are involved in the work at various levels. Homeowner families invest hundreds of hours of their own labor "sweat equity" into the construction of their home. Sweat equity reduces the cost of the house and increases the pride of ownership among family members."
"The Clemson University Campus Chapter is officially chartered and recognized by the Campus Chapters' Department of Habitat for Humanity, International and is registered with Clemson University Student Government. We are affiliated with Pickens County Habitat for Humanity."
