Welcome to Rebuilding Together Metro Denver's eNews. Once each month we send out news of our programs and the people making it possible. Please forward to friends or colleagues who might also be interested in keeping our neighbors warm, safe, and dry and living independently.
| Inside this issue:
From Laurie McCaw, Executive Director: Dear Friends, Rebuilding Together Metro Denver has moved! We were offered a wonderful opportunity to sublease office space from another nonprofit, and we took it. Our new space came complete with more functional work and meeting areas, office furniture, an improved phone system, and internet access, all of which will help support the growth in services we are experiencing (see the note below on our new emergency services program for one example). We are now at:
Hope to see you soon in the new office, at the gala event in September, or on Rebuilding Day in October! In partnership,

RT Partners with HGTV and the National Trust for Historic Preservation Get ready to vote - for Denver! in a new collaboration called Change the World -- Start at Home! Rebuilding Together is partnering with HGTV and the National Trust for Historic Preservation in a series of projects for community revitalization to grow and sustain thriving, healthy, and abundant communities. Rebuilding Together Metro Denver is one of 10 RT affiliates across the country that is identifying a set of projects to renovate an educational facility, a home, and a park or open space, in a historic neighborhood. These projects and the 10 cities will be featured on HGTV and on a special website where viewers will select 5 of the cities (by voting), that will then be funded and completed in conjunction with HGTV and volunteers.
The campaign kicks off in November with a week-long series of shows featuring smaller rebuilding projects. One of those will be filmed in Denver over the next few days. We still need a few more volunteers to help with general painting. If you have time available July 10th, 11th or 12th, please contact Laurie at 303-961-7806 to see how to get involved. Stay tuned for more on the Denver projects and the program overall! Heroes at Home Rebuilding Together has recently partnered with Sears Holdings Corporation and Kmart to launch the Heroes at Home program, which provides necessary repairs or adaptations to homes of military families across America. It meets the home renovation needs of injured military personnel, or those members in financial hardship. Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran Army Specialist Ryan C. Major, 22, became the first recipient of the program on June 22 in Silver Spring, MD. Please click here to learn more about the projects completed at Specialist Major’s home, or here to visit the Heroes at Home website. Heroes at Home is the first of three new programs that will be created as part of Rebuilding Together’s partnership with Sears Holdings. The two other initiatives will focus on preserving and rehabilitating neighborhoods in some of the nation’s largest cities and on helping needy individuals through home repairs. |
