Building Futures - Two Families, One Foundation
Every Dollar Builds More Than a Home
Women Build Teams are fundraising and volunteering to help build a duplex for two hardworking local families. Your donation helps cover the cost of building materials and construction, making the dream of homeownership a reality for Wolton and his daughter, along with another homebuyer family.
Why We Fundraise
Did you know that only 4% of our building materials are donated? In addition, Habitat Susquehanna covers critical costs like permitting, inspections, and utility hookups, which can add up quickly. These investments are worth every penny—because a safe, affordable home gives families stability and pride. And when families thrive, entire communities grow stronger!
To keep homeownership truly affordable, we provide our homebuyers with a 0% interest mortgage, helping them build strength, stability, and self-reliance through housing.
None of this is possible without generous supporters like you.

It’s not too late to join the Women Build Movement!
We’re seeking up to 5 more passionate women to lead teams for our Women Build project. As a team leader, you’ll organize a group to both build and fundraise for a home that will change the lives of two families. Here’s what you need to know:
It’s easy, fun, and incredibly rewarding!
Each team can have up to 10 members (women and men) who are ready to make a lasting, positive impact in our community.What we’re building:
This year, we’re constructing a duplex from the ground up! On day 1, a Women Build team will raise and set the exterior walls on the foundation. By the end of June, we aim to complete the framing, sheathing, roofing, window and door installation, and siding. It’s an ambitious goal—so the more team members, the better!Your exclusive build day:
Each team gets a dedicated day on the construction site, creating a perfect opportunity to bond with friends, coworkers, church groups, or family members. Every participant receives a Women Build t-shirt, lunch, and a swag bag as a thank-you for their hard work. Most importantly, you’ll be part of helping two families achieve their dream of homeownership.Fundraising made simple:
Each team member will have a personalized peer-to-peer fundraising page, easy to share on social media, via text, or by email. Teams are asked to raise $4,000 (about $400 per person) to help bring this project to life.
