The program serves youth ages 14-19 and focuses on preparing the next generation for success through meaningful work experiences and educational support.
When women come together with a shared purpose, the results can be transformative. That belief is at the heart of Women Build, a powerful initiative that brings people together to create safe, affordable housing while uplifting women‑led households across Brown County. What is Women Build?
Women Build is a community‑driven program that invites individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to roll up their sleeves and help build a Habitat home for a local women‑led household. While the program prioritizes women’s leadership and participation, volunteers of all gender identities are welcomed and encouraged to join us on the build site and beyond! Do you have a vehicle that you no longer use or need? Your car, truck, SUV, boat, or trailer could help Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity build a new home in our community! Habitat for Humanity makes it fast and easy to donate a vehicle, and by doing so, you may qualify for a tax deduction. Vehicle donations to Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the United States have raised over $72 million just in the last five years! Your vehicle will be sold on behalf of Habitat through a national network of auctions and direct buyers. Since launching Cars for Homes in 2005, Habitat for Humanity has accepted over 160,000 vehicles for reselling or recycling, raising funds for Habitat to partner with local families to build stability and security that a safe, affordable home allows. I could not believe I could donate my junk car and help Habitat for Humanity. It had been in an accident, but you still towed my car away quickly and easily! With nearly 900 stores in 49 states, chances are you’ve come across a Habitat ReStore, most likely the one right here in Green Bay on Allouez Avenue. But did you know that Habitat for Humanity ReStores are more than just resale stores? They actually support Habitat for Humanity’s mission in several very important ways. How ReStores support Habitat The proceeds from purchases made at Habitat ReStores go to the Habitat for Humanity programs supported by the local office. Then, the funds are put to work in the local community. In Green Bay, the revenue generated from sales funds not only the office operations, but all any remaining dollars support the Homeownership Program. Being able to cover operating expenses means that all philanthropy and fundraising we do go directly towards home builds rather than salaries or administrative expenses. Put simply, when you support your local Habitat ReStore, you are helping individuals and families in your community secure safe, affordable housing.
Their question was answered in a special way when Jessica Diederich, CEO of Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, took them on a trip to the local hardware store. There, the boys saw firsthand how their donation translated into tangible tools and materials for the Habitat build, including 3" framing nails, carpenter pencils, and tape measures. Their eyes lit up with joy as they realized that their summer efforts helped build a home for a family in need.
