Sea Island Habitat for Humanity Announces Women Build Week Presented by Publix Super Market Charities
Gather your friends together for Sea Island Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Week. This week-long event brings together women from across the community to raise walls, build strength, and create lasting impact for a local family.
No construction experience is required, and you don’t work all week. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome and will work alongside Sea Island Habitat staff and experienced crew leaders. Whether participants are swinging a hammer for the first time or returning to the build site, Women Build Week offers a meaningful way to learn new skills while making a tangible difference.
Registration is now open, and individuals are encouraged to sign up early, as space is limited. Participants may register as individuals or with a group.

“Women Build Week empowers individuals to step outside their comfort zones, work side-by-side with neighbors, and help provide safe, affordable housing in our community,” said Emily Speck, Director of Development. “With the generous support of Publix Super Market Charities and many of our other sponsors, this event will directly impact a Johns Island family and strengthen our mission.”
Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization whose vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Since 1978, we have been working to provide affordable housing solutions for families in need across James, Johns, and Wadmalaw Islands, as well as the surrounding areas. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, we empower families to achieve the dream of homeownership, creating a lasting impact in our community by providing a hand-up, not a handout.
