Bend Area Habitat for Humanity, families and volunteers to build affordable housing on May 2 in Bend in recognition of National Women Build Week
Bend, Ore. –Bend Area Habitat for Humanity staff, families and volunteers from our community will be among more than 40 people on our construction site tomorrow to address the need for affordable housing in the Bend area as part of Habitat’s National Women Build Week, May 2-10.
National Women Build Week is a weeklong event created by Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program that challenges women to devote at least one day to help build affordable housing in their local communities.
The week also spotlights the homeownership challenges faced by women. Lowe’s donated nearly $2 million to this year’s National Women Build Week and each year provides the support of Lowe’s Heroes and conducts how-to clinics at stores to teach volunteers construction skills.
More than 300 Habitat for Humanity affiliates are hosting Women Build events this year.
