Ask your employer, civic club, church or synagogue to sponsor a house! House sponsor contributions usually range from $1,000 to $5,000, but you don't have to sponsor to work on this project or take on the task of rehabilitating a complete home through your organization. The average cost of supplies and materials for each house in 2007 was $1,200, so we do need to raise money to complete our work. Rebuilding Together works with each house sponsor or independent team to provide:
All you need to do is to gather 10 to 25 friends or co-workers willing to put in some time and work! Generally teams provide a captain and co-captain to lead the group and are responsible for completion of tasks (see roles and responsibilities of house captain). Start a Team in your company or organization today! Just sign up under the volunteer sign-up section in this web site or contact us for more information at rebuildingtogether@cox.net and complete sign-up forms. Encourage skilled trades groups to participate! Ask carpenters, electricians, plumbers, or other trade professionals you know if they would like to volunteer! Get your school involved! Across this community young leaders are making a difference in their communities by volunteering for Rebuilding Together. Through internships or working on houses, you can have a chance to make a lasting contribution! Volunteer to work on houses! Join us by volunteering to work on a house to: paint, haul trash, landscape, coordinate supplies, build wheelchair ramps, replace water heaters, install windows and doors. These are just a few of the many jobs volunteers can do to help homeowners in need. |
