About Rebuilding Together
Rebuilding Together was established 1997, and has renovated over 100,000 homes and community facilities. The majority of the low-income homeowners we serve are elderly or disabled individuals or residents who are physically and financially unable to maintain safe and warm living conditions for themselves and their families.
Each year during our Rebuilding Days, we gather donated materials and rally hundreds of volunteers to help repair and rehabilitate homes and nonprofit facilities. Our program provides both major and minor repairs and renovations that result in life-changing improvements for the homeowners and organizations served.

Mission Statement
Rebuilding Together's mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, from the elderly and disabled to families with children, live in warmth, safety, and independence. In partnership with communities, our goal is to make a sustainable impact.
We make this impact through providing necessary repairs free of charge to existing homeowners. These necessary repairs often include home modifications, roofing, plumbing, and electrical repairs and/or improvements - our goal is to provide a warm, safe and dry environment for low-income homeowners , enabling them to live independently and with dignity. While many affiliates provide year-round services, all affiliates plan and prepare rebuilding projects or another special event on National Rebuilding Day, typically held on the last Saturday in April. Volunteers from all ages, faiths, and walks of life come together to help their neighbors in the "American Barn-Raising" tradition.
