National Rebuilding Day 2008: Presented by Turner

40 projects! 1 day! Over 1,000 volunteers!

April 26, 2008 will bring the largest Rebuilding Day yet in the Denver metro area. 40 volunteer teams will be working all over town to help low-income seniors and people living with disabilities to live in safety and independence, to age in place in their own homes, and to revitalize neighborhoods.

The gallery is up - see all the houses that will be revitalized by clicking here. This effort will serve over 100 of our neighbors, accomplishing over $500,000 in repair and renovation value in our community.

"Change the World Week" Ready to Go

Our first ever week-long project, focusing on the Curtis Park neighborhood, will take place the week of April 28th - May 2nd. Sponsored by HGTV and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, three major projects will provide more opportunities for previously unemployed women; rehabilitate an 1880's home; and provide shady streets in the neighborhood.
