Sears

The Rebuilding Together and Sears Holdings partnership was created in May 2007. Our partnership program, Heroes at Home, was created to support rebuilding homes of military members and their families. Since 2007, nearly 800 homes and nonprofit centers have been rebuilt for veterans and military members from World War II, The Korean War, Vietnam, The Gulf War and the Iraqi Conflict.

Through this collaboration, we have worked for nearly four years to ensure that our country’s veterans and active service members are living in homes that accommodate their needs, homes that are safe and accessible.  Our work together spans coast to coast and meets the critical needs of veterans everywhere. We have had a profound impact on their lives.

As of Spring 2011, the program has assisted 7,500 individuals and has leveraged over 23,000 volunteers. Sears and Rebuilding Together have collaborated on numerous marquee events including, Kick-Off to Rebuild, Fifty for Five, and the Tennessee Flood Relief Projects. In 2011, we will celebrate the completion of the 1,000 Heroes at Home project.

Heroes at Home is part of the Veteran’s Housing Initiative at Rebuilding Together. The initiative fills the gaps in housing modifications and repair services for retired and active service members to ensure their housing needs are met.
