Habitat For Humanity Women’s Build 2017

Habitat For Humanity Women’s Build 2017

Chevron and Lowe’s Heroes will be among more than sixty volunteers to join Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West to build decent and affordable housing as part of Habitat for Humanity’s 10th annual National Women Build Week, May 6-14.  Lowe’s helped launch National Women Build Week in 2008 to empower women to advocate for affordable housing and spotlight the homeownership challenges faced by many.  Women are invited to devote at least one day to help families build decent and affordable housing in their local communities. This year, more than 17,000 women including Lowe’s Heroes volunteers from across the country, are expected to volunteer at construction sites as part of Habitat’s 2017 National Women Build Week.


Lowe’s donated $2 million to Habitat’s 2017 National Women Build Week and will provide the support of Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers to more than 300 Habitat locations hosting National Women Build Week activities this year.   Chevron also backs up their volunteer efforts with financial contributions as part of their year-round support.
