Volunteers Needed for Habitat for Humanity's Women Build Program

As part of Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program, Bend Area Habitat for Humanity (BAHfH) will begin building a home for Lorinda Harris and her two children on Saturday, May 7 from 8:45 a.m. – 3 p.m. at 2871 Spring Water Place in Bend. Bend Area Habitat for Humanity is looking for a crew of women volunteers to help build the home. Volunteers do not need construction experience and all of the tools will be provided by BAHfH. The Women Build will continue every Saturday until the completion of the home later this summer.


The Women Build program, underwritten by Lowe’s, brings women from all walks of life together to learn construction skills and then use those skills to be part of the solution to poverty housing. Bend Area Habitat for Humanity received two grants totaling $20,000 from Wells Fargo & Company and Lowe’s to build the house.
