Lowe’s is offering clinics in Vancouver for women interested in volunteering with Evergreen Habitat for Humanity as part of National Women Build Week.
“We’re excited to partner with Lowe’s to educate, inspire and empower women to advocate and help Habitat homeowners love where they live through building or improving an affordable place they can call home,” Josh Townsley, executive director of Evergreen Habitat for Humanity, said in a news release. “We want to engage women of all skill levels to join their friends, families and neighbors to build up their communities and lend a hand to Habitat by signing up for build clinics so they will be equipped on the build site.”
Lowe’s at 11413 N.E. 76th St. will host clinics on how to safely use hand and power tools and how to install insulation and drywall; they are 3 to 5 p.m., April 27 and 10 a.m. to noon, April 28. Call Evergreen Habitat for Humanity at 360-737-1759 to sign up for a clinic.
“Lowe’s Heroes have helped build hundreds of Habitat homes across the country and National Women Build Week is another chance for Lowe’s to reinforce our long-standing commitment to Habitat, Women Build and communities where our employees and customers live and work,” James Frison, Lowe’s director of community relations, said in the news release.
During Women Build Week, which is May 5-13, local Habitat volunteers will be installing insulation and hanging sheetrock at McKibbin Commons, a 10-home subdivision that’s about halfway complete.
