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 raised $100,000 and finished our first funded and built RVHFH Women Build house located in Franklin Township (Somerset). We have now opened registration on our next Women Build home in Bridgewater.

March 20th - Melissa's Bachelorette Build and OPEN TO OTHERS
April 17th - Columbiettes ONLY
May 8th - Lowe's National Women Build Week (Mothers Day Build) OPEN TO ALL
June 5th - Executive Women's Golf Association ONLY

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 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.

Imagine, everything to make a fantasy wedding absolutely free. YOU--or your friend--could be our lucky bride and groom!

A great event on Sunday, March 15 at Bridgewater Sports Arena was enjoyed by over 500 people who came out to see and meet many Devils’ Alumni including Bruce Driver, Ken Daneyko and Chico Resch.

Special thanks to the Devils’ Alumni and the Bombers Hockey Club for such a wonderful opportunity, and a great time!

Additional thanks go to our Stanley Cup Sponsor
