Rebuilding Together
Montgomery County
is a
nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to helping elderly and/or
disabled low-income homeowners, and families with children through
home renovation and repair. Our goal is to keep people living in
warmth, safety, and independence, while helping to build better
communities in Montgomery County. Many of our neighbors have worked
all their lives and have been physically and financially able to
maintain their homes in good condition. Now due to illness, the loss
of a spouse, aging, and/or economic hardships, they are unable do
the repair work themselves and their homes deteriorate or become
unsafe. Besides donating annual funds, through the years many Kiwanians have
rolled up their shirt sleeves and painted, planted, scrubbed and
scraped with others to get a home in good shape. |
