LEWISTON — Rebuilding Together, a leading, national nonprofit in safe and healthy housing, provides low-income homeowners with critical home repairs. This organization will hold its annual National Rebuilding Month in April. Nearly 40,000 volunteers will serve in more than 1,600 affiliate-led rebuild projects throughout National Rebuilding Month. In our community, “Rebuilding Together L/A” will host volunteers to repair 10 homes in the Lewiston/Auburn area during this special time.
Throughout April, Rebuilding Together affiliates and volunteers will serve veterans, older adults, low-income families with children and victims of disaster by providing them with a variety of critical home repairs, including flooring repairs and replacement, weatherization repairs, roof and handrail replacements, accessibility modifications, painting, landscaping and other major home rehabilitations. The repairs are provided free of charge to the homeowners who, often faced with diminishing resources, must choose food and medicine over critical home repairs — choices that, over time, can lead to crumbling foundations, dangerously sagging roofs and windows and doors that can’t be securely shut.
National Rebuilding Month will culminate on National Rebuilding Day, Saturday April, 29, and will engage volunteers in a concerted effort to complete repairs on homes, nonprofit facilities and community spaces to bring immediate, transformational change to communities across America on the same day.
