Women Build Paint at Habitat HQ

Over the winter months there may not have been lots of houses going up in Tulsa, but the Habitat team has been working hard!

At the Head-Quarters in Tulsa, walls were raised indoors to create a new office space for one of our team members. Many hands were put to work as we all pitched in to get the job done.

Women Build helped to finish off the room by drywalling, and helping to install trim. All of the painting for this project was done by Women Build!







Along with improving the work environment for one of our own, lots of organizing has been taking place too! Come By our Re-Store before you tackle YOUR next project!
At our Re-Store you will find: tile, windows, doors, trim, cabinets, bathroom and light fixtures, shades and blinds, mortar and grout, nuts and bolts... you name it we probably have it... new and previously loved :)

Not from Tulsa? There's probably a Re-Store in your area too!

The Class will be held at Habitat for Humanity Tulsa : 6235 E 13th StTulsa, OK 74112
