Women Build 2008

Women from Lowe's, Maytag/Whirlpool, First Presbyterian Church and other organizations came together to work on the Women Build work project.  Developed through the partnership between Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity, National Women Build Week celebrates the compassion, dedication, talents and abilities of women from all walks of life.  The goal is to both showcase the accomplishments of Habitat's women volunteers and invite new women volunteers to join the effort to provide decent, safe, affordable housing.

The 37 women painted the inside and outside of the home at 503 East R Street in Yakima.  The future homeowner, as single mother with three children, was really excited to see all the women come and help with her home.
