 Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity is deeply saddened by the death of Millard Fuller, the visionary whose ideas and tireless work created Habitat for Humanity.
Mr. Fuller led Habitat from its founding in 1976 until his separation from the organization and his founding of the Fuller Center for Housing in 2005. He died early today, Feb. 3, following a brief illness. He was 74.
“Millard Fuller was a force of nature who turned a simple idea into an international organization that has helped more than 300,000 families move from deplorable housing into simple, decent homes they helped build and can afford to buy and live in,” said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. “The entire Habitat family mourns the loss of our founder, a true giant in the affordable housing movement. Our prayers are with the entire Fuller family.”

When St. Michael College junior Yewande Mustapha was assigned a group project for her Introduction to Business class last fall, she found herself in new territory. She was required to create a project to benefit a local charity, and to take the lead on every aspect from planning to hosting the event. The result was a Fall Festival on Sunday, November 16 at Eddie’s Lounge, an on-campus student venue.
Once Wendy chose Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity as her charity, the rest followed in orderly succession: creating a seven-student group to help create a family-friendly event; contacting businesses to donate items for the silent auction as well as food for the event itself; designing posters and placing them about town; setting up and overseeing the event; collecting the money and finally, presenting nearly $600 from donations, raffle ticket sales and silent auction bids to GMHH!!!
