Habitat for Humanity's International Women Build Week

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with eXp Commercial, Referral Divison RRE-BRO-LIC-75443

This week Habitat for Humanity and Lowe's are celebrating the 2021 International Women Build Week. The goal is to raise awareness about the global need for safe affordable housing for women (and families).

 

There are 300 Women Build projects in the United States, Canada and India which focus on the need to make housing an option for all.

 

In the Flathead Valley of Montana, Habitat has already completed building more than 60 homes for 60 amazing families. The organization is also currently building five homes in Lakeside, Montana, and more are anticipated.

 

Below is a video that Habitat for Humanity of Flathead Valley has shared. If you are interested in helping, there are many ways to contribute. These include volunteering your time at the building site(s) or the ReStore, contributing funding, donating goods to the store, and more. If you are in the Kalispell/ Flathead Valley area, contact Rebecca of Habitat for Humanity at outreach@habitatflathead.org for more information.

Very ambitious on your part.  We have a Habitat house that was built some years back not very far from where we live and the same family are still there

The people who are getting homes in a Habitat location need to commit to spending hundreds of hours building their own home. I am sure many of them don't want to leave after that!

This reminds me of when I was a kid and my Mom wanted to add onto the house.  She drew up the plans and put us all to work.  It turned out perfect with her leadership!

Good for her! I'd just hire someone to do that!

Love this, Kat! And I'm delighted I got to read your post today... tried to yesterday and just kept getting that snarling dog. Happy Saturday.

I actually deleted the initial one and redid it. I'm glad it works now! 


And I hope your Saturday is wonderful also.

Kat, I have volunteering for Habitat also, but was painting.   You look really good with your tool!

Haha, I'm looking forward to working inside the home - that would be easier than this outside stuff. :-)

My habitat for humanity is one of my favorite community service organizations and I have donated in the past but there is nothing in my area now to help with Kat 😎

That's too bad, Paul. Maybe Habitat needs help finding affordable lots?

Had played a very tiny part in the past with helping this amazing organization. It's always good seeing attention brought to this cause by anyone, whether it's a super real estate agent in Montana or a certain former president of the United States!

Yes, I give Jimmy a lot of credit for all the work he does to help people be able to purchase affordable homes. Kudos to him!

When it comes to volunteerism, rolling  up your sleeves, trying something new, and doing all that you can do, nobody does it better than YOU!!! You look GREAT in those photos and the work must feel rewarding.
