Women Build 2025

Women Build + Jazz & Jewels

Thank you to everyone who made Women Build Week and Jazz & Jewels such a powerful success!

Over 4 days and 8 shifts, more than 130 volunteers came together on the Lawn Avenue build site in Rockland—raising roofs, framing walls, learning new skills, and showing the true impact of community in action. From first-time builders to longtime supporters, each person contributed to creating safe, affordable housing in Knox County.

We’re especially grateful to our Women Build sponsors—The First National Bank, Viking Lumber, Breakwater Design & Build, and Michael Good Gallery—for helping make this week possible. We wrapped up the celebration with our Jazz & Jewels Silent Auction, raising over $5,000 to support Midcoast Habitat’s work. Together, we’re building more than homes—we’re building strength, stability, and lasting opportunity.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible jewelers and artists who generously donated their work to our Jazz & Jewels Silent Auction. Their talent and generosity helped us raise over $5,000 to support affordable housing in our community. We are so grateful to be surrounded by such a creative and giving community.
