Women Build 2024
Celebrating 16 years of Women Build in Orange County
Celebrating 16 years of Women Build in Orange County
Habitat for Humanity's annual Women Build program recruits, educates, and inspires women to build, fundraise, and advocate for stable and affordable homes in our communities. Women Build volunteers and fundraisers from all walks of life have come together to build stronger, safer communities. Habitat's across the nation participate in National Women Build Week, in an effort to challenge women to devote at least one day to the effort of creating affordable housing.
For questions regarding Women Build, contact Krissy at kdunn@orangehabitat.org.
Volunteering with Women Build is a fun way to connect with other women passionate about affordable housing in Chapel Hill. No construction experience is necessary to join us; you'll learn everything you need to on site. Anybody over the age of 18 (yes, even men!) is welcome to join us on-site during Women Build Week.
Our Women Build Mega Building Bash will take place on Saturday, March 9, 2024, with morning (9 am - 12 pm) and afternoon (1 pm - 4 pm) shifts with limited availability now, and priority registration given to those who fundraise.
"Women Build is the gateway to Habitat love; experience just one Women Build and you are hooked for life!" - Erin, longtime volunteer
An average Habitat home costs $125,000 to build. In order to help families, we rely on our passionate supporters and donors to help us build homes. We have set a goal to raise $35,000 this year to help us fund the Women Build home.
