“We are looking forward to National Women Build Week and the opportunity to engage more women in our work,” said David Butler, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area.
“We invite women of all skill levels to join us on the build site and take the clinics hosted by Lowe’s.”
 
Similar clinics are taking place across the country and are open to women interested in volunteering at a local Women Build site during National Women Build Week. Locally, a Drywall Installation Repair Clinic will be held at the Lowe’s in Hixson on Highway 153 on Saturday, from 10:30–11:30 a.m.

Lowe’s helped launch National Women Build Week in 2008, and each year provides the support of Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers and conducts how-to clinics at stores to teach volunteers construction skills. This year, Lowe’s contributed $2 million to National Women Build Week. Since its partnership began in 2003, Lowe’s has committed more than $63 million to Habitat and helped nearly 5,500 families improve their living conditions.
