COMMUNITY: Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha to host in-person Women Build Week 2021

Women Build is a project that recruits and empowers women of all different ages, backgrounds, and industries to come together to build homes and make a powerful and visible impact in our local community through housing.

During Women Build Week, women will work together to raise funds and build homes with Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha. Women Build is a truly unique and exciting opportunity for women in our community to come together, no matter their skill level, and roll up their sleeves to promote positive women-led impact.

Individual Volunteer—Select the Women Build volunteer date that you would like to volunteer for. All participants must complete a profile (including the electronic waivers) and sign up for the volunteer date of their choice before joining us at the build site.

Donate—If you aren’t able to volunteer, but you would still like to support the mission of Women Build Week, you can make a donation to our event.

Spread the word—Tell a friend! Invite others to volunteer, participate and donate to Women Build Week 2021.

Women have the strength and determination necessary to build Habitat houses, addressing the problem of affordable housing in a concrete way so that families can achieve stability and independence through safe, decent and affordable homes.
