Women Build Week -- It won't be men laying bricks, pounding nails, and raising walls at the construction site for a local family's new Habitat for Humanity house.

On Saturday, May 10, women volunteers will be spreading top soil, laying sod, and planting trees and shrubs at two newly completed Habitat homes in recognition of National Women Build Week, May 4-10, sponsored by Lowe's.

Developed through the partnership between Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity, National Women Build Week celebrates the compassion, dedication, talents and abilities of women from all walks of life. The goal is to both showcase the accomplishments of Habitat's women volunteers and invite new women volunteers to join the effort to provide decent, safe, affordable housing.

The work will be done in two shifts, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1 to 5 p.m. The houses are located at 159 E. 800 South and 161 E. 800 South, Orem.
