(Seguin) A weekend construction project being held in conjunction with International Women’s Day is already being called a success as dozens of volunteers prepare to grab their pink tools and get to work.
The annual Women’s Build hosted by Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity is officially full and will welcome women from across the community who have all signed up to help build a home for a local family “pursuing the dream of homeownership.”
This year’s build takes place Saturday at 820 Veterans St. This year’s theme is “Strong Women Build Strong Communities.”
Executive Director Madeline Dalman says the response from volunteers was so strong that organizers had to expand the number of participants.
“Fortunately, and unfortunately, we are full. We have had such a great response from our community. We had filled all 60 spots and then we opened up more spots, and we filled those extra spots so we are at 70 women registered to work out at our job site this Saturday,” said Dalman.
Those unable to secure a spot but who wish to still donate or be a part of the Habitat program are encouraged to join its Circle of Women group and or stop by on a Saturday build day. To learn more, visit the Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity Facebook page.
