Habitat for Humanity's Womenbuild

The first Habitat’s Womenbuild was a real success. It was a cold Saturday morning when nearly fifty women from the Lowcountry area showed up to participate in the construction of a Habitat home for Denise Drayton. Wearing their pink baseball caps (donated by Pink Magazine) these women hammered nails, rendered power tools, lifted walls and had a very productive day. Habitat can be proud of the work of these women.
