Ladies join Habitat for Humanity’s Winter Women Build Day to give back in a unique way this holiday season

Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County is providing a unique way for ladies to give back after the excitement of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. On December 2, they will be hosting 50 women at their new build site of 6 homes for low-income families in La Colonia, Oxnard.

Winter Women Build Day draws ladies from all over Ventura County to take action by building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. It’s a day to celebrate and empower women while pounding nails and hanging drywall alongside Habitat future homeowners, changing our community one home at a time.

Lunch, t-shirts and an unforgettable day of gratitude in action will be provided for all the women that have registered at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/winter-women-build-2017-tickets-39409194963?aff=eac2.

About Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County

Building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County is a locally-run and locally-funded affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Over the past 34 years, 64 new home builds have provided homeownership opportunities for families in need and hundreds of homes have been repaired, providing a safe, decent living environment for low income homeowners. At Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone, everywhere deserves a decent place to live. For Habitat’s new home program, low- to very-low income families are selected based on their need for housing, ability to repay an affordable mortgage, and willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity. We offer a “hand up,” empowering families who are willing to work hard to achieve their dream of homeownership. Each Habitat for Humanity homeowner invests hundreds of hours to help build their home, and then purchases it with an affordable mortgage. Habitat currently has enough donated properties to build 30 decent homes for families in Ventura County.
