12th Annual Rebuild Day was a huge success!
Rebuilding Together Tulsa has been making home repairs for low-income homeowners since 1997.
This year we "rebuilt" Rebuild Day and focused the day's repairs in one neighborhood and celebrated at the end of the day with a wrap up party.
Over 300 volunteers participated on April 25, 2009 for the 12th Annual Rebuild Day.
On this day the finishing touches (paint, yard clean up, etc.) were put on 25 homes in the Hawthorne Elementary neighborhood.

Skilled Workers
Rebuilding Together Tulsa is always in need of volunteers with construction knowledge and repair skills to provide their expertise in the repair of the homes. If you are skilled in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, roofing, HVAC, concrete, guttering or any other trade, please consider giving a day or two of your time to make a difference for a homeowner living with a disability or over aging 60. Please contact Dean if you are interested in volunteering your skills.

Youth volunteers of today are the adult volunteers and leaders of tomorrow. Youth volunteers are essential for supply drives that can be coordinated through their school key clubs, honor societies or other school clubs. Youth ages 14 and up can also help make repairs on the worksite. Letters are provided for school community services requirements. If interested contact Amy.
