“For Chico’s FAS, it is so meaningful to help women and their families on their path to homeownership,” said Shelagh Stoneham, SVP, Chico’s Marketing. “The sense of pride and security that comes from owning a home is really the foundation for building a strong and healthy family life and future. We want to embolden women around the country, by helping them to create a decent place to live.”
In partnership with Habitat LA, Chico’s FAS is committed to the well-being, health and empowerment of women and will demonstrate their support at Saturday’s Power Women, Power Tools build. Along with Habitat LA, Chico’s FAS believes in the importance of creating a world where everyone has a decent place to call home, and through shelter, they will empower women and their families to achieve their dreams of a better life. The stability and security of homeownership will allow families to pursue careers, further their education and watch their children thrive.
