"There was an undeniable energy in the room as 140 guests of all ages listened to the journeys of Jennie Cunningham and Habitat’s General Contractor, Farrah Newman. Both women have charted their path in traditionally male-dominated fields and encouraged us all never to stop dreaming of the next great adventure."
Women 2025 Build

The Women Build Committee mission is to raise awareness of the need for affordable housing in Moore County and works to engage volunteers of any skill level in the planning, fundraising and building of a safe, affordable home. Through contributing to this unique program, participants gain skills and confidence in all aspects of a build project while working with a team of committee members, crew leaders, volunteers, and tradeswomen in a supportive, empowering building environment. Committee members engage in the fundraising, outreach, event planning and general development of the growing Women Build program. The power and strength of women are amplified when we join together in a common cause and are inspired to go beyond our comfort zones. This year we will raise $70,000, which will help purchase construction materials for a Habitat Home in Aberdeen.
