Join us for the Largest Women Build Yet!

Join Richmond Habitat for the largest Women Build yet!

This year’s Women Build will run from August-December and is the largest for this program ever with over 300 spots to fill! Women Build volunteers will be constructing not just one, but two single-family attached homes in the City of Richmond!

This means twice the number of volunteers are going to be needed each day!

New construction is also exciting as volunteers will be building the home from the foundation up. From framing, to siding, drywall, paint and more, we need YOUR HELP to make this dream of homeownership a reality for TWO FAMILIES this year!

Are you ready to build? Visit https://www.richmondhabitat.org/womenbuild to learn more and register!
