UPCOMING EVENTS

The Women Build program challenges women
to build a better future for the children
of central New Jersey by addressing the
problem of substandard housing.

The Women Build Workday program is designed to help raise funds for Women Build while giving individual women an opportunity to volunteer as part of the Women Build effort. Women all over NJ and others from NY & PA have joined together to help build modest, affordable homes for hard working, low income families in Lambertville, Bernardsville & Franklin Township.

Our exciting news! We are almost finished with our first funded and built RVHFH Women Build house located in Franklin Township (Somerset). We are so close to our goal of $100,000 but we still need your help! Our first workday on November 3, 2007 raised almost $12,000 toward this goal! More work days and events have brought in additional funds to total $80,000+!! Now, we’re scheduling workdays for the Summer in Franklin Twp. and very soon at our next location (Bridgewater).

July - Jessica's Birth-Day of Service (friends of Jessica only)
August - TBD

Registration by clicking on our new fundraising tool Firstgiving.

We are very excited to offer this online tool both for registration
and to create your own personal fundraising page.

We are also looking for a sponsor to help us reach our $100,000 goal for our upcoming Bridgewater Women Build House.
Please contact communityrelations@rvhabitat.org for more information.

Thank you for supporting Women Build! Together, we can build a better future.
