Join us for the Chipola Area Habitat for Humanity 2021 Women Build!
Chipola Habitat is hosting a Women Build on May 6th and 7th, 2021.
Women Build is a national initiative to provide safe and decent homes for families in need of affordable housing. By recruiting, educating and inspiring those in our community to fundraise and build, you can transform lives in our communities.
The campaign aims to spotlight the homeownership challenges faced by women and address those issues head on through the power of women across the community.
Any woman who wants to learn how to build and construct a home is invited to join us. No experience is necessary. Volunteers work under the guidance of construction professionals, and alongside other volunteers and future Habitat homeowners. Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, this is a rewarding experience for all involved, and improves the community that you share.
