Rebuilding Together, a national organization that strengthens communities by providing low-income homeowners with critical home repairs through the work of volunteers, will soon have a LaPorte County affiliate!
The very first workday will be in May of 2015. The work day will involve numerous volunteers working on homes in targeted areas of LaPorte and Michigan City. This work day will become an annual event and LaPorte County will be a part of over 10,000 Rebuilding Together projects that happen in our country every year.
Applications are now being accepted for volunteers on the build day and for homes needing repair (must be owner occupied). Applications are available online, at Bethany Church (102 G St.) and at both LaPorte Kabelin Ace locations.
Russ Klosinski is president of the new local affiliate. For more information, contact him at rank@comcast.net. Also, visit http://rebuildingtogetherlaporte.com and the group’s Facebook page.
