The ASB program was started in 1993 when 20 students traveled to Miami to work on Hurricane Andrew relief with Habitat for Humanity. The following year the number of students doubled; the number of participants has steadily increased and now ASB offers six trips per year. ASB has now evolved into its own student organization with an executive board, that runs the program with Hamilton's chaplaincy. Although this was the 13th consecutive trip, there have been trips at least as far back as 1989 when Father Croghan led a HAVOC sponsored group of 16 to Kentucky.	View slideshow from Biloxi.
