Our Flagship Program: Rebuilding Days
Each year on the last Saturday in April,
hundreds of volunteers in metro Denver join the thousands
across the country for National Rebuilding Day.
Starting in 2005, a second Rebuilding Day
was added in the Fall for Denver. Now, with two major Rebuilding
Days each year, we can help twice as many low-income households
with elderly or disabled members.
On Rebuilding Days, teams of 20-25 volunteers go
to each home and work for one full day to repair
and revitalize it, making it warm, safe and dry for the homeowner/family.
All at no cost to the homeowner.
The shared experience of dramatically improving
the safety and the quality of life makes Rebuilding Days both
a memorable volunteer experience as well as an effective team
building activity.
