This is the 23nd year of our annual fundraiser/build campaign, Women Build. Women Build is an annual project in which Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West empowers women, without excluding men, to build homes, enabling them to positively impact the lives of families by making home ownership a reality. Often, over 400 volunteers contribute over 2,065 volunteer hours during Women Build to help build these homes in West St. Tammany Parish. Women possess all that's needed to create dramatic change in our community. From volunteering to donating, there are many ways to contribute to the success of this program.

We love to be involved in our community and help where we can. Helping families to have a home to live in and raise their children so that they are safe and able to be successful in our community is important. We love being able to put our own heart, soul, and sweat into making a safe home for people that we are connected with in our community.
