Lace up your shoes and hit the trails this spring to explore Buncombe County and support Women Build!
Hike with Habitat and help build an affordable home in West Asheville.
Blue Ridge Hiking Company is partnering with Asheville Habitat to bring to you JPD’s Spring Hike Series, a fundraiser for Women Build. Habitat International’s Women Build program empowers women to build – and advocate for – affordable housing in their communities. To date, fifteen Women Build houses have been built in Buncombe County by Asheville Habitat.
Join JPD’s Spring Hike Series for $25 to support the construction of a Women Build House, to be built in Habitat’s New Heights neighborhood. Over the next 6-8 weeks, registrants will receive 4 emails outlining 4 different hikes (one in each quadrant of the county) hand-picked by Jennifer Pharr Davis, internationally recognized hiker, author, speaker, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and new appointee to the President’s Council of Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. Everyone who completes the hiking series will earn a thank you gift, and all participants will be entered into multiple giveaways for other goodies.
Hiking helps improve mental and physical health. So does a healthy home. Asheville Habitat homes are Healthy Built, providing homeowners with ongoing comfort and safety. Adults and children who previously experienced respiratory disease due to mold and mildew, illness from lead exposure or toxic heat sources, and psychological disorders due to financial pressures, experience improved mental, physical and emotional health once the conditions of unhealthy, unsafe homes are eliminated.
