On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, six dedicated members of the Rotary Club of Bedford proudly participated in Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell’s 17th Annual Women Build Week. This inspiring initiative, held from May 3–9, brought together women from all walks of life to lend their strength and skills toward creating safe, affordable housing for local families in need.
 
Our team provided critical women-power to help construct two new condominiums at the 70 Boston Road site in Westford, a historic 1865 barn that is being transformed into two net-zero, solar-ready homes. Each unit will include three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ultimately housing approximately ten individuals. During this stage of construction, our members worked on framing the bedroom walls—an essential step in bringing these homes closer to completion.

Each volunteer was also committed to raising or donating $250 to help cover the cost of building materials, ensuring that the project continues to thrive. The Bedford Rotary Foundation funded the effort on behalf of the club members who participated. 

Women Build is about more than building homes—it's about building community, confidence, and change. Through this effort, our members not only developed hands-on skills in construction but also contributed meaningfully to creating lasting solutions for local families seeking stability and independence.

We are honored to have played a part in this impactful initiative. For more information on Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell and how you can support or volunteer, visit lowellhabitat.org.
