Atlanta Habitat for Humanity Women’s Build Seeking Volunteers

Women Helping Build Stable Communities and Empowering Other Women Through Homeownership

Atlanta, GA (June 3, 2015) — The 12th Atlanta Women’s Build is currently seeking volunteers to build a home for an Atlanta Habitat for Humanity family. The build takes place over the course of seven Saturdays from August 15 to October 3, 2015.

The Atlanta Women’s Build is a grassroots effort led by women, who raise funds to sponsor and construct an Atlanta Habitat home for a working mother and her family. Nearly 300 women volunteers are needed to work side by side with the homebuyer to construct the house, offering a unique opportunity to highlight the ways that Atlanta Habitat empowers women and builds stability in communities.

This is the eighth home built by the Atlanta Women’s Build since 2003, and it brings together community leaders who believe in the power of female volunteers. Leading up to the September start date, the committee must raise $80,000 from sponsors and volunteers to cover the cost of materials. Labor is provided by women volunteers, who are directed by a veteran female Atlanta Habitat construction leader and a field of skilled women supervisors.

No previous construction experience is required, just the desire to help make homeownership a reality for a hard working mother. We are asking for a donation of at least $100 to reserve your spot.

For more information on the 2015 Atlanta Women’s Build, or to donate and volunteer, please visit the Atlanta Habitat website at www.atlantahabitat.org/atlanta-womens-build or call Sarah Richardson at 404.465.1048.
