Celebrating 12 years of Women Build in Orange County
Celebrating 12 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.
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!) are welcome to join us on site during Women Build week.
Volunteer opportunities for the weekends of March 6 and May 1 will be posted in early February. Attend our Raising the Roof Fundraising Party on February 5 for the first opportunity to sign up for spots!
"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 $80,000 to build. In order to help families, we rely on our passionate supporters and donors to help us build homes. This year, we have set a goal to raise $30,000 to help us fund the Women Build home.
