Rebuilding Together
Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit, community-based partnership of volunteers from local government, businesses, and other nonprofits, that rehabilitate the homes of low-income, disabled, or elderly homeowners and improve neighborhoods.
On two April Saturdays each year, approximately 1,000 skilled and unskilled volunteers join together to make repairs to around 15 homes in a selected St. Joseph County neighborhood. All repairs are completed at no cost to the homeowner.
South Bend Heritage began its partnership with Rebuilding Together in 2014 and now provides staff support to assist in client solicitation, client selection, and coordination of volunteers for home repairs.
