Women Build: Fall Edition

Our spring Women Build was such a success that we’re bringing it back for a special Fall Edition!

Join Midcoast Habitat for a three-hour build shift at Compass Point in Rockport, where we’re building 10 permanently affordable homes for local families.

Fall Women Build is a great opportunity for anyone who missed our spring event, wants to build with a few friends, or is looking for a fun and meaningful way to support affordable housing in our community.

Friday, October 23
9:00 AM–12:00 PM
1:00–4:00 PM

Saturday, October 24
9:00 AM–12:00 PM
1:00–4:00 PM

Each shift is limited to 15 participants, and participants register for one three-hour shift.

No construction experience is needed. Women Build is all about uplifting women, building confidence, making connections, and having fun while doing something meaningful together.

Registration + Fundraising

Registration is $50 per person, and each participant commits to raising at least $100 in support of Midcoast Habitat’s affordable homeownership work.

Women Build is both a volunteer experience and an important fundraiser, and every dollar raised helps us continue building permanently affordable homes for local families.

After registering, you’ll receive easy fundraising tools and ideas to help you reach your goal.

Build With Us

Women Build is about more than spending a few hours on a construction site. It’s an opportunity to learn new skills, build alongside friends and neighbors, support one another, and help make affordable homeownership possible for more people in our community.

Every hour volunteered and every dollar raised helps move our work at Compass Point forward.

Grab a friend, choose your shift, and join us for Women Build: Fall Edition!

Women Build 2026 was one for the books.

Over five build days, including one added because of incredible interest, volunteers came together at Compass Point in Rockport to help build safe, energy-efficient, permanently affordable homes for local families.

Compass Point is Midcoast Habitat’s new 10-home pocket neighborhood in Rockport, Maine. What started as foundations is now beginning to look like homes, thanks to the hard work, generosity, and spirit of this community.

Together, Women Build participants, sponsors, and supporters raised just shy of $15,000 to support affordable homeownership in Knox County.

Want to get involved before then? Midcoast Habitat welcomes volunteers of all skill levels year-round, not just during Women Build. From construction and landscaping to office support, committee work, event help, and ReStore volunteering, there are many ways to get involved. No construction experience is needed, just a willingness to show up, learn, and help build homes, hope, and community.

Save the Date for 2027!
Women Build returns May 1–5, 2027, followed by the return of Jazz and Jewels on May 6. We hope you’ll join us for another incredible week of building, community, and support for affordable homeownership.

Thank you to everyone who built, donated, sponsored, cheered us on, and helped make Women Build 2026 such a success.
