Women Build 2026

Celebrating a decade of Women building change! Women Build is a hands-on, multi-month event that brings women and participants of all gender together to learn new skills, strengthen community, and help build affordable homes alongside lower-income hardworking families in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. Make a difference: Join Women Build!

How does it work?

Habitat’s Women Build 2026 will kick off with a Launch Party in early March and will run from March-June. We have opportunities for both Corporate and Individual Teams. For Individual Teams, each participant is required to raise $400 and teams are asked to raise a minimum of $4,000 towards our $330,000 fundraising goal.

If you are interested in becoming a team leader, you can recruit a team of ten (10) women (and others) to volunteer their time and raise funds. If you're unable to create a team of your own, we have a Habitat Metro Maryland sponsored team of ten (10), Habitat Hearts and Hammers, that you are welcome to join.

We make fundraising fun and simple by providing an easy-to-use fundraising portal, along with great tips to help everyone reach their fundraising goals. We'll keep you connected to the Women Build mission with weekly updates. Participants compete for prizes to reward fundraising efforts.

When will you build?

Build days are Wednesday-Saturday each week from 8:30am-3:00pm. Each team builds for one day. Currently, we have build sites in both Montgomery and Prince George's Counties.

No skills or expertise are required. We provide all the tools and oversight to teach you the skills you need to finish your tasks on the construction site for the day. Lunch and Women Build branded t-shirts will be provided for all participants.
