National Rebuilding Day News Coverage Blankets the U.S.

Article type: News

National Rebuilding Day occurred on April 24, 2010 and approximately 3,500 projects were completed throughout the Rebuilding Together Network. The projects were completed because of the generosity of our terrific sponsors, the engagement of our local skilled trade partners, and the tremendous expression of volunteerism from our army of 67,000 volunteers.  
 
Once again, our Network has captured the very best of our nation's spirit; a spirit that challenges each and every one of us to offer our time, talent, and resources to someone less fortunate. Through our work, we have changed the lives of so many deserving homeowners and as a consequence have contributed to the revitalization of hundreds of communities across the nation. Thank you!  Read more about our partner projects on National Rebuilding Day or see media coverage below.
