We are excited to announce that this year we will be partnering with Rebuilding Together Dayton. Rebuilding Together is a national organization that provides critical home repairs and accessibility modifications to low-income senior homeowners at no cost. Every year on the last Saturday in April they host The National Rebuilding Together Day where they invite the local community to join them in their efforts. So whether you are looking to serve the community through a citywide clean up, home repairs, or making a home more accessible for a senior neighbor, this partnership has you and your organization covered!
