Rebuilding Together Greater Burlington
Who we are
Rebuilding Together, formerly known as Christmas in April, is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to helping low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly, disabled, or part of a family with children, with home renovation and repair.
Our goal is to keep these families living in warmth and safety, while providing them with independence. Our impact is lasting; neighborhoods are revitalized and families are able to stay together.
On Thursday, December 13th a group of Rebuilding Together volunteers helped to make much needed repairs to this Huntington, VT home. Click here for a slideshow of photos from this event.
OUR MISSION: Warm, Safe, & Independent
* Warm can mean having windows with caulk and glass, not plastic and
duct tape.
* Safe can mean walking up a staircase without the fear of falling because proper railing is lacking.
* Independent can mean having access to the sufficient means for
comfortable self-support.
Why our services are needed
The number of low-income homeowners in the United States increased each year and is expected to grow to 28.5 million by 2010. 22% of Americans cannot afford the basic necessities of life after paying housing costs. The situation becomes one where they own a home but cannot afford to maintain it. Since its inception, Rebuilding Together* Greater Burlington has successfully completed 17 home projects.
If you are in need of assistance or know someone that is, please download our homeowners application and we will be happy to consider you for our upcoming project day.
