What is Women Build?
Women Build is a movement that unites and empowers women to collectively make an impact on affordable housing in the communities where we work and live. This year, we're dedicating the entire month of June to Women Build - help us finish Rebecca's home in time for the beautiful Maine summer!
How to Join
You can join Women Build by volunteering, sponsoring, or both! All volunteer days during Women Build will take place at our South Portland construction site. Volunteers are asked to contribute to our $60,000 fundraising goal either through their individual fundraising efforts or through a corporate sponsorship. Not interested in volunteer slots but want to get involved? Become a sponsor to still contribute to the cause!
Individuals
Want to see what Women Build is all about? Come by yourself or grab a friend and join us for a volunteer day while helping to raise funds for affordable housing in our community.
Corporate Involvement
Gather 6-12 people from your workplace for a corporate build event, or solely contribute to our fundraising goal with a sponsorship.
Meet the future homeowner
Rebecca and her son are ready for a fresh start in a safe, stable, affordable home. She reflects, “I’m humbled beyond words to have been given this opportunity! Providing a stable home for my son is what is most important to me. This home is more than just a roof over our heads, it’s peace.”
Let’s work together to get Rebecca in her home this summer!
