Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity will dedicate Women Build volunteer days to honor and remember Dr. Christine Grant. In 2013, Dr. Grant was the honoree of the IVHFH Women Build home and lead the Women Build committee to raise over $50,000 and recruit hundreds of volunteers to support construction of a Habitat home in Iowa City. IVHFH had the honor of working with Christine through the Women Build committee for the past 8 years. We invite the community to come together in service and take part in Christine Grant Build Week at the Jane Hagedorn Women Build site April 27-30. If you cannot take part in construction but still want to participate, there are opportunities to prepare and serve lunches for volunteers and on-site photography. For more information and to sign up to volunteer, email Leda at leda@iowavalleyhabitat.org.
This photo was taken in 2013 near Carver Hawkeye Arena where Dr. Grant, members of the Women Build committee, University of Iowa coaches and athletes, and Habitat staff and volunteers gathered to construct the walls that would frame the Christine Grant Women Build home.
