Rebuilding Together ...
Rebuilding Together provides critical repairs and renovations for low-income homeowners across the United States, and has done so for almost 25 years. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy home. We provide critical repairs, accessibility modifications, and energy efficient upgrades to homes and community centers at no cost to low-income owners. Our impact extends beyond the individuals served to revitalize and stabilize vulnerable neighborhoods and communities across the country.
Watch this special message from Morgan Freeman about Rebuilding Together:
... Philadelphia
Rebuilding Together Philadelphia is an independent affiliate of the national Rebuilding Together network. The Rebuilding Together Philadelphia graduate student club at Penn has maintained a close relationship with the Philadelphia affiliate for over 20 years.
Every year in the spring, a large group of Penn students from Wharton, Penn Design and other graduate schools participate in a "Block Build." During this two-weekend event, skilled laborers and volunteers from the community and from professional and student organizations carry out essential repairs and renovations to houses that wouldn't otherwise receive the attention and work they need to remain safe and habitable. The homeowners of these houses are often low-income families, elderly, infirmed, or in other need of assistance and as such, they greatly appreciate the aid that the volunteers provide.
Rebuilding Together provides great opportunities for first year leadership! And it is one of the only clubs at Wharton that connects directly with the residents and our neighbors in West Philadelphia.
Please reach out to any of our officers for more information and answers to any of your questions!
