Women Build is more than building a house—it’s about building a movement right here in Springfield. Together, women from all walks of life come together to lead the way in addressing our local housing crisis, break down barriers, and create a more equitable future for everyone.
At Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri, we believe in the strength and leadership of women. Women Build empowers women-led teams to step up, swing a hammer, and make a lasting impact by helping build safe, affordable homes for families in our community. We are proud to be partnering with many companies in our own community in support of this effort!
This year, we’re rallying to fully fund and build a home by women, for a local family. The future homeowners are a young couple raising three small girls—this home will be the foundation for stability, growth, and generational change. A safe and affordable home means the children will have room to play, space to study, and a secure place to grow up. It means their parents can focus on building a future instead of struggling with housing insecurity. The total cost to build this home is $185,000, and every dollar raised brings us closer to handing them the keys to a brighter future. Together, we can make this dream a reality—one nail, one wall, one empowered woman at a time.
