Clearwater, FL – Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas and West Pasco Counties launches its 2024 Women Build that will feature female leaders from the Tampa Bay region to build a home for a local single mother. Female leaders are invited to take part in a life-changing opportunity to support the homeownership dreams of a deserving family with this Women Build Home.

Similar to the affiliate’s CEO Build, the newly formatted Women Build offers participants access to exclusive build days with likeminded professionals as a “Leader”, Duo”, or Corporate Partner. 

Women Build Honorary Co-Chairs

Habitat is proud to announce Honorary Co-Chairs Heather Ford and Marsha Droste. Ford is the CFO at Power Design and serves as Habitat Board Chair. Droste is a Partner at Pete & Shorty’s Iowa Bistro and Hooters Restaurants. They will work with Habitat staff to recruit for and bring visibility to this special Habitat Home Build. 

“I am thrilled to serve as honorary co-chair for the 2024 Habitat Women Build,” said Ford. “Empowered women can uplift each other and build stronger communities. We will partner with a strong woman and her family to build their forever home and help establish the foundation for a lifetime of memories and a bright future.”
