Hearth & Hope is more than just a team name — it’s our purpose. A hearth represents the warmth, comfort, and gathering place at the heart of every home, while hope represents the future we’re building together.

As a Women Build team, we are passionate about helping families in Muncie turn walls and beams into places filled with love, laughter, and belonging. Each nail we hammer and dollar we raise moves us closer to creating safe, stable homes where futures can flourish.

Our mission is simple: to bring heart, hands, and hope to the Habitat for Humanity vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Together, we’re not just building houses — we’re building hope that lasts for generations.

During Women Build, our dedicated volunteers not only contribute their time, energy, and talents, but also play a vital role in providing crucial funding for Muncie Habitat. Each Habitat house costs roughly $130,000 to construct. Our goal for Women Build is to raise over half of the cost of the home’s construction!

We encourage each participant to raise a minimum of $250, while teams of 10 aim to collectively fundraise $2,500. Together, we can build walls and dreams, creating lasting change in our community.
