This year, Habitat for Humanity Charlotte Region will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Women Build—a powerful initiative that began in Charlotte and has since grown into a national movement.
Women Build was launched by women volunteers to build homes that support women homeowners and strengthen communities. Thirty-five years later, that spirit of leadership, equity, and collaboration continues.
To mark this milestone year, Habitat Charlotte is planning engagement opportunities throughout 2026, beginning with a Women Build Kickoff Party on Thursday, January 22, 2026, from 5:30–8:00 PM at The Ruth by Beau Monde.
The kickoff event is an opportunity to connect with other women, learn more about how to get involved with Women Build in 2026, and celebrate the impact this program has had locally and nationwide. League members are encouraged to attend and to share the invitation with friends, colleagues, and anyone interested in supporting Women Build this year.
