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.
On-Site volunteer opportunities for Women Build typically fall in mid-October, early March, and early May. Check back soon as we set the dates and post volunteer opportunities.

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.
