WOMEN BUILD
Together We Build Our Future, All Are Welcome!
Habitat MontDelco’s Women Build 2026 is about empowerment, education, and community. This initiative brings women together to address our community’s affordable housing crisis by providing the tools, skills, and opportunities to make an impact.
We dedicate Women Build 2026 to the incredible women in our Habitat community who have taken the courageous step toward homeownership. These women have overcome challenges, navigated obstacles, and worked hard to provide stable, secure homes for themselves and their families. The Women Build initiative is a testament to the power of collective action, proving that when women come together, they don’t just build homes—they build lasting change in their communities.
A Typical Women
Build Day
Women Build Day volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals and alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners.
A build day typically starts at 9:00 am when the site supervisor gives a safety briefing, describes the objectives for the day, and assigns each volunteer a task.
Volunteers are broken into small groups and work closely with a Habitat-skilled volunteer on the task.
The day begins to wrap up around 3:00 pm and we finish with a group photo!
Female homeownership is on the rise! Despite women earning $.81 for every dollar a man makes, the homeownership rate among women has increased by over 10% in the last 20 years. Now, women-headed households account for half of all households in the U.S.! Women are becoming homeowners at an unprecedented rate, breaking barriers in an industry that men have historically dominated.
Together, we will build secure homes that provide hope, independence, and opportunity to families in Montgomery and Delaware Counties.
Lets Build Together!

FAQ
How can I participate in a build day?

No construction experience is required! We’ll provide all the safety gear, tools, and training you need. Our skilled volunteer Crew Leaders will guide you every step of the way.
Is this event for women only?
Although this event is designed to encourage women’s empowerment, it is open to all genders.
Do I have to join a corporate team to participate in Women Build?
No, you do not need to be a part of a corporate team. You can form your own team consisting of family members or friends ages 18+.
What happens when someone donates directly to a team’s page?
The money donated directly to a team page is reflected in the team page total. It is NOT reflected in any of the individual team members’ totals. If you'd like a donation to be reflected in both your personal total and the team total, please ask the donor to contribute through your personal page.
Does Habitat for Humanity give houses away for free?
No, Habitat for Humanity does not give houses away for free. Instead, families purchase their homes through affordable, interest-free mortgages. Habitat partners with these families to help them build or improve their homes, and the mortgage payments are reinvested into the program to help more families.
