Women Build it for Habitat for Humanity
What: Women Build SaturdaysWhere: Two homes in Bayfield
When: Saturday, Aug. 18, all day
Women Build it for the Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County and the community of Bayfield on Sat., Aug. 18.
The Women Build Program is a part of Habitat for Humanity. It gets women involved with home construction, providing opportunities for women to learn construction in a supportive environment while making a difference in the community.
Women Build and its partners recruit and train women to not just build, but maintain simple, healthy and affordable homes. Participants learn they have the capability and determination to be part of solving the housing problem by helping one family at a time.
But it doesn’t mean men aren’t invited to help and build a home for a Bayfield family. Everyone wins and everyone is welcome.
The program will also be working on a home Sat., Sept. 22. No experience is necessary to get involved and all are welcome. For information or to sign up, visit www.habitatlaplata.org or call 382-2215, Ext. 16.
