Celebrating 14 years of Women Build in Orange County
Celebrating 14 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 Kaitlyn at kkopala@orangehabitat.org.

An average Habitat home costs $80,000 to build. In order to help families, we rely on our passionate supporters and donors to help us build homes. After raising a record breaking $35,500 last year, we have set a goal to raise $40,000 this year to help us fund the Women Build home.
