A Council Sponsored Community Service Project - 2010 This year's annual Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh campaign took place on Saturday, April 24, 2010, throughout the city of Pittsburgh and the surrounding suburbs. We are proud and honored that so many journeyman and apprentices volunteered their time and skills for such a worthy cause. We understand how busy everyone is on a Saturday and we want you all to know how much your participation is appreciated. Once again you have helped to touch the hearts and souls of people in our community. We are proud of the continued support from so many of our veteran volunteers, along with our new volunteers – you all make this project successful! We can’t say it enough: thank you, thank you, thank you to all who participated, in any capacity for your time, skills and efforts. If you were unable to help this year, maybe we will see you next - it will be an unforgettable, rewarding day!
Rebuilding History and Background Rebuilding Together - Pittsburgh is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping low-income elderly and disabled homeowners living in warmth, safety, independence, dignity and decency through home repair and rehabilitation volunteer services. Each year volunteers repair dozens of individual homes to assist homeowners needing a helping hand. More than 1000 Pittsburghers come together to help their neighbors during the annual Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh campaign. The organization has also helped repair senior centers, churches and other structures to make the buildings more accessible and comfortable for their users. Corporations and individuals donate everything from money and materials to their valuable time to make Rebuilding Together one of the biggest events of its kind in Pittsburgh and around the United States. Materials and supplies are provided by area residents and businesses. Historically, teams of volunteers have successfully completed repairs in just one day to make homes more comfortable and secure. Rebuilding Together-Pittsburgh began in 1992, (titled at that time Christmas in April)and annually makes repairs to more than 30 homes on Rebuilding Day along with special projects through out the year. The Carpenters union continues to play a vital role in this event.
