The Dedication of the 2010 Women Build Home was Saturday July 31st at 3007 Florida Street in Dickinson Texas. Tiffany Gilmore and her 3 children were given the keys to their new home. This is the second year Bay Area Habitat for Humanity constructed a Women Build Home. The Women Build program, underwritten by Lowes, recruits, educates and nurtures women to build - and advocate for - simple, decent and affordable houses in their communities. Bay Area Habitat for Humanity recieved a $35,000 grant from Lowes to build the house. The work of these wonderful and compassionate women throughout our community has made the dream of homeownership a reality for the Gilmore Family. The additional $35,000 needed to fund this home was raised during our 5K Walk February 21st 2010. Teams raised donations and then came out in teams to help build this home. Platinum Teams:

Congrats to Tiffany and her family!! Tiffany, her children, mother and friends worked really hard to build this home! Tiffany and her children are a very deserving family, and I wish them all the best as they get settled into their new home.
