Every woman has the power to change the world.
Why we build:
At Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity, we build homes because we envision a world where everyone has a safe and affordable place to live. Together with volunteers and future homeowners, we’re not just building houses—we’re empowering lives and creating communities.
How can I help?
This year, in addition to rolling up our sleeves and volunteering, we need your help to lay down the foundation of hope, one room at a time. The cost to build the average Habitat for Humanity home is $160,000. The cost for each room is broken down into simpler categories as such:
- Bedroom (each): $19,200
- Bathroom (each): $8,000
- Living Room: $35,200
- Dining Space: $28,800
- Kitchen: $24,000
- Garage: $44,800
Imagine the tangible difference your support can make—enabling families to experience the security of their own bedrooms, the comfort of a cozy living room, the joy of meals in a dining area, and the love that flourishes in a kitchen. Each space in a home we build with Women Build reflects resilience, unity, and boundless opportunities. Our objective is straightforward: unite to fund a critical part of the home—the kitchen—where countless memories are made and shared.
