Twenty women comprising of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area volunteers and Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers will devote the day before Mother’s Day to help a mother build an affordable place she can call home on Saturday. This project is part of Habitat for Humanity’s National Women Build Week, which takes place April 30-May 8.

The project also supports “Home for the Holidays,” a nationwide initiative launched by Lowe’s and Habitat for Humanity to work alongside 1,000 families to help them build or repair their homes by December. 

Habitat for Humanity’s National Women Build Week is a week-long event created by its Women Build program that invites women to devote at least one day to help families build strength, stability and independence through housing. The week is meant to spotlight the homeownership challenges faced by women.

Lowe’s donated $2 million to Habitat’s 2016 National Women Build Week and will provide the support of Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers. The home improvement chain will also conduct how-to clinics at stores to teach volunteers construction skills. 

Habitat for Humanity and Lowe’s Heroes celebrating National Women Build Week is helping to build a new Habitat home for a mother of a 2 –year old son.  The home will be at 1723 Newell Ave. in East Chattanooga.  

More than 300 Habitat for Humanity organizations across the country are hosting Women Build projects this year.
