RT*MC is part of a national nonprofit program which sponsors National Rebuilding Day across the country on the last Saturday in April. Every year we select a different Chicago neighborhood and south suburb in which to provide free home repair for elderly, disabled, or low income individuals.

RTMC Celebrates another Successful Event Day
This year on Saturday, April 24th low-income homeowners received much needed aid as part of National Rebuilding Day 2010. Over 3,000 volunteers donated their time and talents to plan and complete hundreds free home repairs for residents on Chicago and Cook County's west side. The work completed on National Rebuilding Day in 70 homes and in 5 community facilities was accomplished by Rebuilding Together * Metro Chicago volunteer teams in partnership with the Chicago Skilled Trade Unions. Repairs focused on keeping homeowners "warm, safe and dry" and also improved access for low-income seniors, veterans and people with disabilities. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make National Rebuilding Day 2010 a wonderful success!
