While some may take the day off, Lubbock Habitat for Humanity will be working on Martin Luther King Day. The nonprofit organization is requesting Lubbock residents to assist them in building affordable housing for those in need.
Lubbock Habitat Executive Director Christy Reeves tells KAMC News that the best way to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. is to give back to the East Lubbock community.
Habitat for Humanity will be hard at work on Monday, Jan. 18, working in the Talkington Addition construction site at 4040 North Guava. Habitat for Humanity, with funding from the J.T. and Margaret Talkington Foundation, began working on the addition of 22 new homes back in March of 2016.

• It will make the 2-hour bus ride from St. George to Las Vegas, Nev., this weekend, where the Lobos are scheduled to play UNLV on Saturday and Monday, before returning to Utah.
• In lieu of payment for traveling to play at DSU’s Burns Arena, per a contract reviewed by the Journal, the Lobos get to practice at DSU and “host” their Jan. 21 and 23 Mountain West Conference games against San Jose State. The Spartans, coincidentally, are staying at the same Phoenix-based hotel as NMSU because a county health order forced their relocation out of state.
