Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) State Office of Children and Family Services Local members collect donations in Rensselaer, NY for "CSEA Street," a row of houses Habitat for Humaity will build in storm-ravaged Louisiana with money donated by CSEA members. Local members bought a doghouse to donate to one of the Habitat homes. Members will raise money by having donors pay to sign a shingle. Signers can include messages of hope to the family who will eventually live in the home that will include the doghouse.
