A seven-woman team of mortgage bankers from Charlotte’s HomeTrust Bank will trade computers and office attire for hammers and hard hats on Thursday, June 9, during Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Work Day. Their Adopt-a-Day sponsorship helps mark the 25^th anniversary of Women Build, which began in Charlotte in 1991 and has built more than 2,400 homes around the world with all-female volunteer construction crews. Many of the women have no prior construction experience, but look forward to sharing the excitement of first-time homeownership. Work in this year’s five-home Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build efforts in Charlotte began May 6 and continues through early July.

The HomeTrust Bank team goes to work on June 9 to install drywall on the homes. To learn more about Habitat Charlotte’s Women Build and how you can get involved as well, visit their website.
