SHEBuilds a Success
The Women in Construction group partnered with Rebuilding Together Peninsula (RTP) for their second SHEBuilds event funded by WIC sponsorships/donations. In 2019, registration filled up quickly for this member favorite event, and this year more than 20 volunteers from numerous companies rolled up their sleeves to help make a difference.
WIC members and colleagues joined together to prep, paint and trim a home in East Palo Alto with wonderful results, and homeowner Juanita was thrilled with the final outcome. Everyone had fun networking and sweating in the sun while working on this worthwhile project — seeing the fruits of their labor and the smile on the homeowner’s face was icing on the cake!
Many thanks go to volunteer captains Sheri Learmonth, Sarah Sullivan and Vanessa O’Connor, along with RTP Captain Brooks Posegate, for helping direct the team’s efforts. This great group of volunteers has a goal to continue fundraising so they can work on another home improvement project for a family in need in 2022.
