Women's
Build/Habitat for Humanity Verizon Heritage Classic
By Kate Rose
During the Verizon Heritage Classic tournament, our
members put in some WO-man hours
to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity in the Bluffton
area of South Carolina. This was a “women’s build”
for Habitat, meaning that all of the volunteers hours, as
well as much of the professional labor on this house, was
performed by women.
The
Hilton Head Regional Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1990,
has built 76 simple homes in the Hilton Head/Bluffton areas
of South Carolina, providing affordable housing to more than
300 people in need. The homes are earned by deserving families
who have contributed “sweat equity” as well as
met other qualifying criteria.
The
house was built for a single mom, Michelle, and her two daughters.
Because so many of our members turned out to help, we were
also able to do work on another house located nearby. Members
painted the interior of the house, mixed and poured concrete
nailed up cladding on the side of the house and generally
had a great time. It is so rewarding to be involved with such
a worthwhile charity, where your efforts are so clearly visible
and satisfying. Thanks to all of our members who helped on
this project and to the great people from Habitat who assisted
us in organizing this project.
