Empower Yourself, Empower Families: Join Women Build
April 3, 2024
What is Women Build?
Women Build is a national movement spearheaded by Habitat for Humanity that empowers women from all walks of life to actively contribute to building safe and affordable housing for families in need through construction and fundraising efforts and CCHFH encourages you to join the movement.

Women Build is more than just a construction project – it's a community effort. Women(and men) who are looking to make a real difference, can support us five ways:
  • Register a Team: Gather your friends, colleagues, or family members and form a team to contribute to the build and challenge each other to raise a minimum of $2000.
  • Volunteer as an Individual: Even if you don't have a team, you can still lend a hand on the worksite and raise a minimum of $250 to support the project.
  • Donate: Can't join us on the worksite, but still want to show your support? Make a donation. Every contribution, big or small, brings two deserving families closer to their dream home.
  • Sponsor a team or house: Empower the next generation of leaders by covering the full $2000 fundraising minimum so a team of eight 16 to 22 year olds can join build a better future for others.
  • Spread the word: Share this with your family and friends to encourage them to join the movement!
The kick-off Wall Raising event is June 8th, so register your team today.

Teachers Unlimited Takes on Women Build

By Alina Lackey • July 15, 2024
This past weekend, Teachers Unlimited, a group of dedicated teachers who wanted to make a difference not just in the classroom, but on the worksite, joined the inspiring Women Build fundraising and build event. Led by Calhoun Cleburne Habitat for Humanity Board Member, Joy Wright, these selfless educators traded textbooks for hammers to lend their skills to constructing safe and affordable housing for the recipients of these two homes. "I am delighted to support Calhoun Cleburne Habitat for Humanity, both as a community member and board member," Wright shared. "Our mission to build homes, communities, and hope is a wonderful goal." Their hard work and enthusiasm will not only help two families in need of safe, decent and affordable housing, but also showcases the incredible strength and diverse talents of women in our community. These homes are being built in partnership with Alabama Associations of Habitat for Humanity Affiliates through their allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Thanks and their support for Habitat for Humanity affiliates throughout Alabama, we are able to continue our mission and provide improve the quality of life for families in our community.

Beyond Bricks & Mortar: Women Build Raises Walls of Hope

By A. Lackey • June 11, 2024
Calhoun Cleburne Habitat for Humanity swung into action this past weekend, kicking off our exciting Women Build initiative with a symbolic wall raising. This new build and fundraising event carries the weight of not just one, but two dreams – those of the Allen and Davis families, who will soon call this quiet community home. The wall raising ceremony marks a crucial milestone in the construction journey. It is a powerful symbol of progress, signifying the transition from a foundation of hope to a tangible structure that will soon become a home and for the Allen and Davis families. As the walls rose, the significance of what such a life-changing journey this will be for these families became clear-- a future bright with stability and security. More than just bricks and mortar, this home represents a sanctuary for their children to grow and a place where their dreams can flourish. Let's raise the walls of hope together!
