Day 1 - Habitat for Humanity

The 51 State representatives attending the 2009 Mrs. America pageant at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort will join Habitat for Humanity Tucson for a tree planting excursion at the Habitat Tucson Corazon Del Pueblo home development.
The Mrs. America pageant was drawn to a project with Habitat for Humanity Tucson because of its green initiative and Women Build projects.
The delegates will be planting native trees and shrubs at a newly installed park for the neighborhood. See slide show.
Corazon Del Pueblo is home to more than 15 Habitat homeowners and will soon be the home to many more. At least six more Habitat houses are planned to be built there this year, including the second Women Build home for that neighborhood, and Habitat Tucson has land available to build 20 to 30 more homes over the next several years.
