Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh partnered with Mount Saint Mary College (MSMC) for a t-shirt design contest ahead of its 2025 Walk for Housing. Issiah Figueroa, a Cybersecurity major from Newburgh, created the winning design, which will be featured on official event shirts. Graphic Design student Brooke Mulqueen of Montgomery earned runner-up honors.

The walk, themed “Building Tomorrow Starts at Home,” takes place Sunday, April 27 at 2 p.m., starting and ending at MSMC. The 2.5-mile route highlights Habitat Newburgh’s past and current home builds and supports seven homes currently under construction. Participants can receive the exclusive t-shirt by donating $20 or more.

Join us to support affordable housing, celebrate community talent, and walk for a better Newburgh.
