Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers will be among more than 30 volunteers to join Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area to address the need for affordable housing in the Greater Chattanooga 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.
Habitat for Humanity and Lowe’s Heroes will be completing neighborhood revitalization projects at 1721 Citico Ave. and 1718 Jackson St. Both homes are located in Chattanooga’s Bushtown Neighborhood.
This work will be on Saturday, May 9, between 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
More than 300 Habitat for Humanity affiliates are hosting Women Build events this year. To schedule interviews with officials from Habitat for Humanity or with volunteers from Lowe’s Home Improvement, please contact Karlene Claridy at 423.503.6488.
