Who We Are
Who We Are...
Rebuilding Together Worcester is a volunteer organization that forms partnerships with corporations, individuals and other organizations committed to improving our community by rehabilitating the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly, disabled and families with children, so that they may continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. In addition, Rebuilding Together rehabilitates non-profit facilities such as community centers and shelters.
How We Make It Happen
Volunteers come together for one weekend in Spring (usually in April) to rehabilitate the homes of needy homeowners and non-profit community centers or shelters. Volunteers from all walks of life are comprised of executives, mill workers, politicians, truck drivers, and neighbors working side by side with skilled tradesmen like carpenters, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and others who donate their time and talents. Corporations, local businesses and organizations sponsor projects through financial contributions and in-kind donations of materials. By combining our talents and resources we are truly Rebuilding Together to make a lasting impact in our community and neighbors in need.
