How It Works
Join Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity's Women Build movement as we celebrate our 14th year of empowering women and individuals to make a difference in our community! Over the past decade, we've seen hundreds of dedicated volunteers come together each year to raise walls, awareness, funds, and advocate for decent and affordable homeownership opportunities for local people and families.
In the 2024 Women Build season, we're turning our focus to the remarkable women in our community who are catalysts for change, leaders in innovation, and dedicated advocates. From nurturing mothers to trailblazing innovators, women from all walks of life and backgrounds are shaping our world for the better. Here in Greater Green Bay, women, men and all who are empowering women can help us continue to pave the way forward together. Come be a part of this transformative movement and make a lasting impact with us during Women Build 2024. |
