Old Colony Habitat For Humanity Hosts Women Build Day For Women’s History Month

Old Colony Habitat for Humanity of Raynham, MA, hosted its third annual Women Build Day this Saturday, 21 March.

Over 30 volunteers gathered at our current build site at 762 Washington Street, Franklin, MA, to support the project as it enters its final stages.

Women Build Day For Women’s History Month

Habitat for Humanity International has supported Women Build efforts and volunteers since 1991. Globally, women are significantly more likely to experience housing insecurity. The Women Build initiative provides women with the opportunity to be proactive in aiding their communities, promoting agency and empowerment. As a woman-led Habitat affiliate, Old Colony Habitat for Humanity is proud to be a part of this program and thankful to all the women who have offered their support to our mission.

Our current project in Franklin is converting the former South Franklin Congregational Meeting House into a beautiful home for Sally Marmol and her children. Sally is a strong woman and mother who has worked tirelessly to support her family and become a homeowner. Her effort and determination inspire us to work alongside her in our mission to build hope, homes, and communities. We look forward to the Marmol family’s move-in, expected this upcoming June.

“Yesterday’s Annual Women’s Build Day was truly inspiring,” said Brenda McDonough, Board President and event sponsor. “Seeing more than 35 women come together–bringing their strength, skills, and heart–to support Old Colony Habitat for Humanity and the Marmol family in Franklin was incredible. This day is a powerful reminded of what happens when women unite with a shared purpose and community.”

Kimberly Thomas, CEO of Old Colony Habitat for Humanity, says, “My heart is full after such an incredible day. Women’s Build is one of the most meaningful traditions we have at Old Colony Habitat. To see so many women show up–supporting one another, lifting up the Marmol family, and creating something lasting together–was simply amazing. This is what community is all about.”
