Our Goal:
The Women Build committee is working together to raise $55,000 in local contributions and recruit volunteers to build an energy-efficient home that will be purchased by a family in need of affordable homeownership. Funds will also support a Helping Hands home project to make affordable repairs and/or accessibility modifications for an existing homeowner. Donate today to help us reach our fundraising goal! Donations can also be made by check and mailed to IVHFH | 2401 Scott Blvd. SE | Iowa City | IA | 52240. Include "Women Build" in the memo line.

History of IVHFH Women Build:
The first Iowa Valley Habitat Women Build was completed by a committee of volunteers in 2004, the second Women Build was also completed by a committee of volunteers in 2006, but the affiliate did not commit to making the Women Build an annual project until 2011. Since then, it has become a tradition for IVHFH to name each Women Build in honor of an influential woman in the community.

2011-2023 IVHFH Women Build Honorees include: Dottie Ray, Jackie Blank, Jane McCune, Dr. Christine Grant, Jean Lloyd-Jones, Mary Palmberg, Pat Heiden, Kazi Alward, Jan Down, Katie Lammers, Doris Preucil, Jane Hagedorn, and Mary Mascher.

In Support of Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity
We envision a world in which each person has a decent place to live. Locally, we partner with both current and future homeowners, local businesses, residents, and social service organizations to construct and renovate safe, decent, affordable housing in Cedar, Iowa, Johnson, Louisa, and Washington Counties.  We also secure affordable financing so that homeowners in our program save thousands of dollars over the life of their mortgage.   Globally, we work to remove barriers to decent housing by supporting Global Village trips and tithing to Habitat for Humanity global builds.  Together with our community, Habitat homeowners gain the strength, stability, and self-reliance needed to build better lives and stronger communities.
