Women Supporting Women

A haven of encouragement, community and growth

Join us at one of our build sites this May!

Join other women from across Essex County to support families in need of affordable housing by helping them build their homes! FUNDRAISE to support building affordable homes. PARTICIPATE to make a positive impact on a family's future.

Women Build provides women participants a way to help build stronger, safer communities in an inclusive and collaborative atmosphere. The day begins at 8:00am with orientation and a group photo. Building takes place from 8:30am until 3:30pm, with a break for lunch. And after clean up, although exhausted, volunteers know their work will have a lasting impact.

Over 80% of our future homebuyers are hardworking single mothers trying to improve the futures of their families through affordable homeownership.

It’s easy to participate!
