Women from around Williamson County came together to participate in a build as part of Habitat for Humanity Williamson County's National Women Build Week. The national initiative is done through a partnership with Lowe's and is on its 10th year.

Lowe's provides $2 million in support, and the build in Williamson County received $5,000 of that money as a result. The Williamson County build started at the beginning of April and will likely be done in June. The home will go to a single father and his two twin daughters.

The father and daughters commit sweat equity in order to have the home, contributing roughly 300-500 hours working on the home or in Habitat's restores.

Celeste Lesmeister, division director of marketing and communications with St. David's, said the father and daughters made all the difference for her to contribute her time to the build.

Lesmeister had a busy week and didn't think she would have time to volunteer for the build, but when she saw it was going to twin daughters, she knew it was the right thing to do.

"I have twin daughters, and I knew immediately when I saw that, it was the right thing for me," Lesmeister said.

Debbie Hoffman, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Williamson County, said National Women Build Week is all about empowering women in Habitat's kind of work.

Hoffman said many women believe they aren't capable of Habitat's kind of labor, but once they get on a worksite, they change their minds. She said once they see the impact they are making for Habitat families, it all clicks in their minds.

"A home is just a vehicle for loving on families, it is a vehicle for a community to come together," Hoffman said.
