GREENVILLE, SC – In honor of National Women’s Month, dozens of community leaders gathered in Nicholtown to celebrate the completion of a historic home.
The annual Habitat for Humanity of Greenville Women’s Build launched in December, but with a new twist: Peer-to- Peer fundraising. Habitat Greenville created 10 teams of influential women in the Greenville Community, challenging them to invite four or more of their friends to be a part of their team. This made a minimum of 40 women supporting the build, which equates to Habitat Greenville’s 40th anniversary.
Michelle Seaver, United Community President for Greenville, Spartanburg and Cherokee counties, and Kylie Felker, President of Foster Victor Financial Advisors, were the first two teams to commit to the project, and each reached their goal.
Thursday’s event was done to coincide with International Women’s Month and Day.
“This was a tremendous showing by the women in the Greenville community to support this build,” said LaTonya Phillips, CEO and President of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County. “Their dedication and effort helped a family find their new home.”
Families who feel they may qualify are encouraged to complete the homeownership qualification form. For families who qualify, it typically takes 12-18 months to complete the requirements for a Habitat home. Depending on individual circumstances, additional time may be needed.

It also made me think about how small actions can create meaningful change over time. As someone who occasionally reads about social initiatives while looking for resources like New Assignment Help in Australia for research topics I find myself wondering how other organizations across the country are celebrating women and encouraging volunteerism in similar ways. It leaves me curious to learn more about these community-driven efforts and their…
