Women Build is all about empowering women to come together, swing a hammer, and make a tangible difference in our community by helping build affordable housing for deserving families in our community.
Women Build encourages women to lead efforts in building homes and hope for families. It’s not just about construction—it’s about connection, empowerment, and action. At Midcoast Habitat, Women Build has a proud history of bringing women together to build homes and strengthen our community.

To celebrate the success of Women Build Week, we invite you to our Jazz & Jewels Silent Auction, a free and festive evening filled with live music, refreshments, and dazzling treasures. Held just before Mother’s Day, it’s the perfect place to find a meaningful gift while supporting Midcoast Habitat’s mission.
This event will feature live jazz and light refreshments. The highlight of the evening is a spectacular silent auction of jewelry donated by local artisans and jewelers, offering something for every taste—gold and silver creations, beaded designs, estate jewelry, blown glass, and more.
Do I need construction experience to participate?
No experience necessary! Habitat staff and skilled volunteers will guide you through the tasks, ensuring a fun and fulfilling experience.
Who can participate?
Building volunteers must be 16 years or over but people of all ages can raise awareness and raise donations for the project.
Is this a women-only event?
While Women Build is focused on women and the majority of participants are women, this is an inclusive event. Any person who wants to build with us is invited to join.
Is there fundraising involved?
Any donations you raise will directly support our mission. We are challenging all registrants to raise $100. We’ll email registrants a guide to help get them started with our peer-to-peer fundraising platform. Not into technology? Fear not! We also take checks by mail and donations through our website. Just write the participant’s name and Women Build in the memo line.
