Eighteen Girlfriends gathered in Lake Grove on a hot day to learn more about Habitat for Humanity and help build the program’s first homes in Lake Oswego.
Girlfriends shared about the experience:
“It was an amazing opportunity to get to know some wonderful Girlfriends, work together with Habitat for Humanity Portland, and learn about their incredible work in our community. I learned to use a power nail drill and a power saw and the incredible importance of making sure the wood is aligned perfectly! I loved learning about CREW too.” - Liz
“It was a great day of education, working together, and sisterhood.” - Lori Kellogg
“Spending a day helping frame one of the Habitat for Humanity houses was great fun. I learned how to use a serious nail gun while making a contribution. Liam, our supervisor, was very knowledgeable and patient. I recommend that everyone volunteer at some time. I’ll be going back when there is painting and other finish work to be done.” - Kay
