A team of women from HMC spent an inspiring, tiring and hot day alongside 200 other enthusiastic community volunteers at the 10th annual Habitat for Humanity Power Women Power Tools event. We arrived early on a Saturday morning at a Habitat site in Lynwood, just South of downtown Los Angeles, to help frame four new houses, next to three others that were nearing completion. On the shuttle to the site, one of our team members met a mom who had been a Habitat client. She had applied for and received a Habitat home for herself and six children. Since her he experience was truly life-changing, she wanted to come back to help other Habitat families in need. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Thank you Team HMC!
