2025 Goddess Contractors
Goddess Contractors or “GCs” (a play-off of the term General Contractor) are female community leaders who assemble a team to crowdfund and refurbish furniture items donated through the Habitat ReStore. Each one-of-a-kind, secondhand piece is then styled at the event venue the night of the gala and auctioned off with all of the accessories.
Donate financially tonight and allocate your dollars to a specific team below.
