Winona Habitat Women Build pink board fundraiser begins

Leave a legacy — put your name on the 41st Winona County Habitat for Humanity Home.

Starting this month, 40 2’ by 4’ boards — painted pink in recognition of the Winona’s first Women Build project — will be located at businesses, schools, churches and organizations throughout the city — including Saint Mary’s!

The boards are also affixed with a collection box, signage and permanent markers. Everyone is invited to support the Habitat Women Build by signing their name on the board and placing a minimum $2 donation in the collection box.

The same boards will be dismantled at the end of the fundraiser April 1 and used in the home’s construction, creating a lasting tribute of this caring community. The money supports SMU’s Women Build team.

The board is currently located in the Communication and Marketing Office, but will travel to various offices and events. Contact Terri Lieder, Ext. 6965, if you’d like to have the board in your area.
