Rebuilding Together to Host 33,000 Volunteers During National Rebuilding Month

Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit organization with a mission to repair the homes of people in need across the country, will host its annual National Rebuilding Month this April. More than 33,000 volunteers will serve in nearly 1,500 affiliate-led rebuild projects throughout the country, officials said in a news release.

Throughout April, Rebuilding Together affiliates and volunteers will serve people in need, including veterans, people with disabilities, older adults, families with children and victims of disaster by providing them with a variety of critical home repairs. Repairs will include flooring replacement, weatherization improvements, roof and handrail replacements, accessibility modifications, painting, landscaping, and other major home rehabilitation work. The repairs are provided free of charge to the recipients who often live with limited resources and must choose food and needed medicine over critical home repairs. These choices over time can lead to crumbling foundations, dangerously sagging roofs, and windows and doors that can’t be securely shut.
