Women Build is bringing the community of strong, dedicated women together to be a force for good in ourselves and in our communities. Women Build channels the power and energy of local women to focus on something uplifting, and to lift up walls in our neighborhoods.

Women Builders also get dirty. We put our muscles where our mouths are and build homes and communities. As we help others, we help ourselves. We learn new things, we push ourselves. We know how to tile bathrooms, how to lay hardwood floor, how to be the boss.

This year, Lowes sent a group of women employees to help us work on our Veteran Build in Palmyra!

Two bets are better than one!  At Casino Night, we are combining our cards to make a FULL HOUSE to celebrate the merger between MSB Habitat and Habitat BCGTP. The two affiliates are stronger together, sharing resources to help us build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter for more families in need!

Hosted at Mercer Oaks in Princeton.

In honor of Veterans Day, on November 16th, 2019 we hosted our 5th annual Take a Veteran to Lunch event in partnership with the Burlington Lodge #32 or Free and Accepted Masons with proceeds supporting Habitat for Humanity’s Veterans Build Program.

Swap your suits for boots and help Habitat BMC build homes and dreams right here in our community. The Charity Build is a simple concept. Teams of employees come together for a friendly competition while building a Habitat home!  During the Habitat provided lunch, the teams will hear stories shared by current Habitat homeowners, future Habitat homeowners, and staff. This is a wonderful team building experience for the partnering businesses, promoting workforce unity while making a significant contribution to our community.

In 2019, Charity Build activities focused World Habitat Day’s message of building a world where everyone has a decent place to live.  Poverty housing looks different in the US than it does in other countries, and we forget that some basic necessities here are luxuries in other communities. Charity Build teams were tasked with creating shelter from items often used to build housing in poverty-stricken communities around the world like wood pallets, tarps, sheet metal, and cardboard. The teams were encouraged to be mindful of the obstacles these families face with each shelter tested on its level of safety, decency, and affordability. Through the event’s activities, teams grew their awareness of conditions low-income families endure, as well as knowledge of how Habitat is working to build brighter futures for them.
