Women Build works to recruit, empower, and train women to build simple, decent, and affordable homes. The Women Build worksites provide a unique opportunity to learn construction skills and to build leadership and teamwork skills. The Greater Charlottesville Women Build program was founded in the fall of 2001. Women Build is now raising funds to build its seventh house. You can help! Please consider donating. See link below.

TOOLBOXES ON PARADE

Many thanks to Carla Mullen for all her help at the Habitat Store and allowing us to join her in the Women with Nails event.

Thanks to everyone for making this such a successful event.

Thanks to our lumber donors: Lowe's, Smith and Robertson, Bob Powell, Joe Orrock and Ray Varona.

Thanks to the Women Build volunteers and the women from   the National Association of Women in Construction for building all of our toolboxes.

A special thanks to Dale Morse for making wrought iron handles for our gift boxes.  Also, thanks to Happy Cook and Pasta Valente for filling gift boxes.

Of course, without our artists, this would not have been such a huge success. We cannot thank you enough for your time and talents that were donated to this project.  Thanks to each of you: Edith Arbaugh, Claudia Bean, Mary Beth Bellah, Carolyn Beverly, Kim Camper, Gail Davies, Billie Dietz, Jo Donovan, Jan Elmore, Stacy Erickson, Helga Feden, Miki Fenn, Nell Finger, Candy Goodyear, Richard Gross, Rowena Halpin, Chelsea Hoehn, Lia Karaoli, Niki Karaoli, Mackie Kudravetz, Kelly Lonergan, Sarah Memery, Linda Nacamulli, Joan Perry, Nancy Quantock, Wynne Shafer, Joan Soderlund, Sharon Tolczyk, Gerry Tracz and Barb Wallace.
