WOMEN BUILD PROGRAM
WOMENBUILD
Women Build 2024 EVENT.jpg

Women Build is an exciting and engaging opportunity for us to focus on a population that has not always been given a space or opportunity to be part of construction or work on build sites. Our goal is to equip women with skills and confidence to break barriers and stigmas and to feel empowered to grab a hammer and build - hopefully alongside our families as we tackle unaffordable housing in our community.

 

 If the Women Build Program is brand new to you, click the pink button to view the Women Build Handbook for our 2024 program and how you can support the Habitat mission. 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were fantastic years for our program and we are working hard to bring a fun and exciting year in 2024.

APOSTLES BUILD PROJECT

What is the Apostles Build Project?

 

The Apostles Build is a partnership that allows twelve (or more) individual churches to join together to build and fund a home for a local family. As Jesus’ original apostles were charged with spreading the word about Him, our twelve apostles are charged with assisting in Habitat’s mission to provide shelter for God’s children.

How can your church get involved?

 

PRAYER- We believe in the power of prayer to help us build on faith.
LABOR- Over 2,000 volunteer hours go into building each home and over 400 volunteers.
MEALS- For the volunteers on the days of service.
SPONSORSHIP- There are four levels of partnership to accommodate all church sizes and budgets!

What does Habitat Provide?

 

  • Building site, house plans, materials

  • Carefully selected homeowner/partner family

  • Construction supervision, instruction, and training on the job-site (no building experience is necessary).

  • Assistance and support with church awareness and fund-raising efforts.

 

For more information and/or to schedule a meeting with us to discuss this opportunity further, please contact: Denise James, Executive Director at 541-779-1983 or email her at djames@roguevalleyhabitat.org
