Volunteers with Women Build are about to roll up their sleeves and build homes for families in need.

"This year we're looking for 20 teams to raise 2500 dollars apiece." says Antoine Wright, President of Big Bend Habitat for Humanity. "Our goal is to create a number of teams that challenge each other and then come out to build"
