  3. 2023 Women Build - 10 Years of Grit and Grace
  • 2023 Women Build - 10 Years of Grit and Grace logo
  • Join us as we celebrate 10 years of GRIT and GRACE!  This will be our 10th home built by gritty and gracious women in Boone County!  36 teams, each consisting of 10 women, will build a house for a very deserving single mom and her 3 children in Lebanon, IN. This build is all about empowering women to learn new skills showcasing their GRIT during their onsite build day as well as fundraising with GRACE! Teams commit to raise a minimum of $2500 per team or $250 per team member.  This powerful combination of GRIT & GRACE makes this an extremely popular and truly incredible build!

In Support of Habitat for Humanity Boone County
Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We work towards this vision, being Christ’s Hands and Feet, by building and improving homes in partnership with individuals and families in need of decent and affordable homes. We have chosen to create opportunities for people to have sustainable housing by partnering with volunteers, donors, and corporations to break the cycle of poverty. ​ Since 1984, Habitat for Humanity of Boone County has been offering a hand up not a hand out enabling our partner families to achieve pride in home ownership working side by side with volunteers to build houses. We have built 70 homes helped over 200 hard working adults and children with their dream of housing stability.

  • Buds and Builders 2

    Penny Wallis

    This is the 6th year for Buds and Builders to be participating in the Women Build and many of us have been supporting each other in this activity all 6 years (plus previous years on different teams)! We are a group of friends with the desire to show grace to a deserving family and we aren't afraid to grit our teeth a little doing the heavy lifting, using a power saw or organizing a fundraiser to support the cause. So grateful for each and every beautiful lady on this team! Captain Penny

    We are a group of gritty and gracious women who love helping other women and their families build their safe, secure, beautiful forever home! Habitat for Humanity gives us that opportunity! This will be my 10th year working on the women build and 9th year to lead a team. Being a part of this every year is one of the most rewarding and fun things I get to do with a bunch of my friends! We all love learning new skills each year and seeing the progress made on our work day. The other cool thing about the women build is that we, all of the ladies on all of the teams, raise the funds to build these homes. The homeowner will have a mortgage and is financially responsible but that’s what allows Habitat to keep building year after year. Please join us by supporting us financially if you can! It’s one of the best investments you can make!

    Team ZUMC (Zionsville United Methodist Church) has been participating in the women's build for a LONG time, and we are excited to do it again this year for the 10-year anniversary. Most builds aren't easy, but they are always fun, and we always feel accomplished at the end of the day. We are thrilled to bring our grit and grace to the build site, and we are so grateful for your support!

  • Sam's Work in Progress

    Kim Lunato

    For many gals on this team... we've been together for 9 years!! Two of us have been together all 10!! Each of us has a heart for service and a love of Habitat, Women, Children, and a big desire to help secure affordable, safe places for the women in our community who are struggling to make ends meet. Over the years, this team has done foundation work, framed a sidewalk, built a deck, installed windows, put in lots of siding, fascia and soffits, installed wiring, painted some exteriors and interiors, lifted the trusses (see pic below!), installed roofing (not the shingles), wrapped the house in weather barrier, laid flooring and trim work, ... pretty much we've done a bunch of different things in all kinds of weather!! Can't wait to see what new super powers we develop this year!! Thank you for joining us with your prayers and financial contributions!!
