International Women Build Day Supports Habitat For Humanity

RENTON, WA - Habitat For Humanity of King County: Women from across King County will come together on Friday, March 8th for the Lowes Women Build Day to support Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County.

Sponsored nationally and locally by Lowe’s, Women Build Day is an opportunity for volunteers to devote their time during the day to help Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County advance its mission of building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

“By volunteering during our Lowes Women Build Day, you’ll not only change Habitat homeowners’ lives. You’ll change yours,” said Brett D’Antonio, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County. “You’ll join other women leaders in this unforgettably impactful event. You’ll also revitalize your confidence to wield construction tools in basic building skills training before building on site. And you’ll boost your sense of accomplishment as you network with other powerful women to help others.”

Participants in the Lowes Women Build Day — which also welcomes men — commit a day to Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County. Habitat’s first Women Build event was held in 1998. Since then, all-women construction crews have helped build thousands of homes in partnership with families. Nearly 100,000 women from all 50 states have volunteered at previous National Women Build events.
