PARSIPPANY — Women in Morris County are invited to join Morris Habitat for Humanity in volunteering and celebrating Women Build. Following the great success of previous Habitat’s Women Build Week, dates have been set for Women Build events throughout the year. Nationally, this is the 10th year this initiative has actively brought together groups of women to make a difference for Morris Habitat.
During the week of Monday, May 8 to Saturday, May 13, Morris Habitat is asking women to volunteer with other women from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Harding Avenue, Dover construction site. No training is necessary so it’s a great way to learn some new skills, bring a group or friends and/or team up with other women in the area.
In the past, the response to this special day was overwhelming.. Whether you have volunteered before or are a first-time participant, Morris Habitat wants you to come out, or even better to get a group together for a special experience.
When asked how she felt about last years’ event, Stephanie Sayki, Director of Volunteer Services, said “it was fantastic! These women showed you don’t have to have brawn and muscle to build. They all came together…different ages…different walks of life…all united in one goal, to build a home for a family in need.”
National Women Build Week brings together women to devote at least one day to building decent and affordable housing in their local communities. Nearly 100,000 women from all 50 states have volunteered in previous years.
