Women Build Cd'A to begin

Women will be grabbing hammers and hard-hats next week, and donating time to help build a home for Habitat for Humanity of North Idaho.

It's time for the sixth annual Women Build, a program designed to involve more ladies in the construction of Habitat homes.

Next week, women will be framing a Habitat home in Coeur d'Alene, and volunteers are still needed for May 7.

Building will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that more than 12 million children, one in six, are living in poverty.

"Some of those children are right here in Kootenai County," states a press release. "Through Women Build, we're literally placing the tools into women's hands that enable them to do something about that appalling fact."

Those interested in volunteering or who would like more information should call Katrina Boyer, 762-4663 extension 4, or send an email to [email protected].
