September is National Rebuilding Month This Year!Rebuilding Together is a national movement that transforms thousands of homes across the country each year. Rebuilding Together North Jersey (RTNJ) brings financial resources and materials from generous corporate sponsors and donors together with hundreds of volunteers to assist our low-income neighbors in communities throughout Bergen and Passaic Counties. It takes much more than a day to transform our project homes. Months of house evaluations, selections, planning, budgeting, developing work scopes and recruiting volunteers culminate in a month of repairing homes and rebuilding lives. “Prep” workdays take place each weekend (and sometimes weekdays) before National Rebuilding Day. Skilled trades volunteers in areas including carpentry, electrical, masonry, plumbing and roofing pitch in to ensure that the project homes are ready for hundreds of volunteers who will come together as neighbors helping neighbors on National Rebuilding Day. National Rebuilding Day is Saturday, September 25th – rain or shine! This year we have selected projects located in Clifton, Elmwood Park, Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrouck Heights, Moonachie, Teaneck and Wallington. To volunteer please call 201-447-8886, email info@rtnorthjersey.org or click here to sign up online.
