Rebuilding Together
Rebuilding Together links
NRCA has adopted Rebuilding Together as its national charitable organization. Founded
in 1988, Rebuilding Together is a nonprofit, nonsectarian volunteer organization
that rehabilitates the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly
and disabled, and families with children. The organization's national headquarters
are in Washington, D.C.; there are more than 250 local programs throughout the United
States.
After months of planning and preparation, Rebuilding Together with culminates in
a National Rebuilding Day usually on the last Saturday in April. Volunteers of all
ages, faiths and backgrounds come together to repair and restore thousands of homes
across the United States.
On many occasions, homes are not selected for a Rebuilding Together program because
the roof systems are in need of major repairs and the local chapter can't afford
the materials or obtain skilled volunteers to perform the work. Rebuilding Together
is thrilled to partner with NRCA, especially because there is a growing need for
roofing work. By joining a Rebuilding Together project, NRCA members and affiliate
chapters can make a difference in the lives of others and collectively help improve
the roofing industry's image.
