First Lady to raise wall of Habitat for Humanity house

OLYMPIA — First Lady Mona Lee Locke will participate in the First Ladies Build Habitat for Humanity program tomorrow (Aug. 14) by raising the wall of a duplex home.

The First Ladies Build program is part of the nationwide Women Build project designed at helping women learn home building and repair skills.

"Since so many of our families in need are single mothers, and so many of Habitat's volunteers are women, this is a great opportunity to create housing and provide training all at once," Locke said.
