A National program of Habitat for Humanity sponsored by Lowe’s, Women Build Week brings women together from all walks of life who want to make a profound difference for families in their community with Habitat’s vision of everyone having a safe, affordable place to live.

Volunteers at Women Builds will meet the family they are helping, spend time with friends and colleagues, and learn construction skills that are useful in their own homes. This will be exciting work and Habitat Walton County welcomes all beginners and skill levels. Volunteers may work several shifts or just one, and will be trained on the job site. Sign up to volunteer at WaltonCountyHabitat.org. 

Habitat for Humanity of Walton County Florida

We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

While the vast majority of Americans feel stable and secure in their current situation, housing insecurity touches nearly half of adults at some point in their lives. More than half of all adults say they have made at least one trade-off in order to cover their rent or mortgage, including cutting back on health care, food, or moving to a less safe neighborhood. 

We build because we believe that everyone should have a healthy, affordable place to call home. It is challenging to find affordable housing in Walton County, families partner with us to build better lives for themselves and their children with a decent place to live. http://waltoncountyhabitat.org/
