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.

On March 1, Habitat Newburgh hosted Building Fashion to Build Community, a vibrant event celebrating inclusivity, empowerment, and unity through fashion. Models from NFA, MSMC, the Boys & Girls Club, and longtime Habitat staff and volunteers took the stage, showcasing diverse styles and the strength of our community. More than just a fashion show, the event highlighted how collaboration and creativity help build a stronger, more connected Newburgh.
