It’s always a privilege to spend time with Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, and it’s definitely an honor to join Isaiah Davis from Grainger in accepting the award on behalf of Women Build this year. Thanks to my amazing Women Build team and all the other Women Build supporters. I invited Mayor Shewmaker to join us for the Donor and Volunteer Appreciation event, and I am so pleased he did. He said he was inspired by the stories he heard about homeowners and volunteers. Habitat built 14 houses and completed 32 home preservation projects in 2019, and they’ve got bigger plans for this year. Mayor Shewmaker plans to support Simpsonville’s relationship with Habitat, and he’s even interested in volunteering! We’re hoping to break ground on the Woodside Habitat community here in Simpsonville this year, so it’s great to have our new mayor involved. Next Women Build will be in Simpsonville, so if you’re interested in helping women be #SimplyEmpowered through homeownership, let me know!
