Women Build 2026

Women Build 2026 was one for the books.

Over 5 build days, including 1 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 are 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 be part of the next build day? 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.
