Women in Energy Fundraiser - Women Build 2021

“Do what you can to show you care about other people, and you will make our world a better place.”  —Rosalynn Carter 

Women Build is Habitat for Humanity’s annual, worldwide event engaging women in an effort to support affordable, quality housing. From now through National Women Build Week, March 8-13, WiE will be joining with women throughout our community to empower a local Habitat family. We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and are asking for your help. We may not be able to roll up our sleeves and swing a hammer this year, but we have a goal to raise at least $1,000 to help build a home in which this family can thrive. Your tax-deductible donations will help fund the construction of the roof and foundation of the Bridges' home. Please help by supporting our efforts.

About the Bridges Family 

Mary was born and raised in Belle Glade. She retired as a Correctional Officer with the Florida Department of Corrections and serves as an Ordained Elder at Straightway Church. Mary is the custodial guardian of four elementary school aged children, Joseph (11), Arniyah (9), Ruth (7), and Isabella (6) in addition to 25-year-old Ricky. The house will be crowded and happy as they grow up together; Mary is looking forward to seeing the children play in their own backyard.
