Together day is Saturday, April 28. Click here for details.
Volunteers help homeowners remain safe and independent in their own homes.
They restore heat, rebuild stairs, and eliminate many unsafe conditions. They install grab bars and hand rails in the homes of frail elders, upgrade electrical and plumbing systems, replant gardens, and apply thousands of gallons of paint. At nonprofit facilities volunteers work under the direction of architects, designers and space planners to create efficient, stimulating work environments that improve nonprofit agencies' productivity and ability to achieve their goals and objectives. Rebuilding Together began in Midland, Texas, in 1973, when a few friends devoted one day in April to repair homes of low-income, disabled or elderly neighbors. The idea spread quickly from city to city and across the country.
