Habitat for Humanity Calaveras "Women Build a Day" Coming Up

In the days leading up to Mother’s Day, construction crews of women volunteers will be pounding nails, raising walls and laying bricks at Habitat construction sites across the country in recognition of National Women Build Week, May 2-10. Lowe’s Martell and Habitat for Humanity Calaveras are training local women volunteers to work one day on a Valley Springs Habitat construction site on Saturday, May 2, 2009. Construction or home improvement experience is not necessary.....

Habitat for Humanity Calaveras is one of 175 Habitat affiliates in the United States participating in the second National Women Build Week.

Developed through the partnership between Lowe’s and Habitat for Humanity, National Women Build Week challenges women to devote at least one day to the effort to eliminate poverty housing.

The event is an initiative of Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program, underwritten by Lowe’s, which brings women from all walks of life together to learn construction skills and then use these skills to build simple, decent affordable houses.

Lowe’s is committing $1 million to National Women Build Week, providing $5,000 grants and event support materials to the 175 Habitat affiliates. The commitment includes underwriting of the Women Build program, as well as providing construction in-store how-to clinics.

Lowe’s Martell is partnering with Habitat Calaveras on Saturday, April 25 at 10 a.m. to provide a how-to clinic. Participants will learn how to put up interior trim and the correct method of painting the trim.

"Lowe's Martell is pleased to be part of the local Amador and Calaveras counties project,” said Randy Vipond, Store Manager. “Being asked to hold a clinic allows us to do a small part by providing some training for the women involved in the build. Lowe's ongoing national commitment to Habitat of providing donations and manpower is something that we are all very proud of."

Lucy Thein President of the Board of Directors of Habitat Calavers added, “Our Women Build Days are always fun and to have Lowe’s share our vision of decent housing for all is terrific.”

To find out more about the National Women Build Day May 2 or the how-to clinic April 25, call Kathy Heffernan, Volunteer Coordinator for Habitat for Humanity Calaveras at 209-795-7742.
