Hundreds of Tucson women volunteered with Habitat for Humanity Tucson and Lowe's this week to help build affordable housing in local communities.

This year, volunteers in Tucson will be building six homes and performing a neighborhood improvement project at the current Habitat Tucson construction site in the Barrio Nopal/Desert Vista neighborhood, according to a Habitat for Humanity media release.

Volunteers worked at the build site, 6909 S. Radec Lane, on the following days:

  • Wednesday, May 9, from 7 a.m. to  12 p.m.
  • Saturday, May 12, from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
