Rebuilding Together Seattle provides donated repair services for homeowners in need so they can continue to live independently in warmth and safety.
Who They Are
Rebuilding Together Seattle was established in 1989 and is part of the national Rebuilding Together organization (formerly Christmas in April). We are a volunteer, charitable group and repair or rebuild homes at no cost to low-income homeowners, particularly those who are elderly, disabled or families with children.
RTS is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and is staffed by an Executive Director and Program Administrator. RTS also offers an internship program to select college students in Seattle.
History and National Impact
Our affiliate is part of the national Rebuilding Together organization that has over 200 affiliates in 50 states. The organization was first known as Christmas in April, which began in Midland, Texas in 1973 when a group of volunteers decided to devote one day a year to repairing dilapidated homes in their community. The project developed into the nation’s leading volunteer home repair organization.
Across the country, every year, the last Saturday in April is National Rebuilding Day. Over 300,000 volunteers rehabilitate 9,000 homes and non-profit facilities. The work takes place in nearly 900 cities and towns, delivering a market value of $97 million!
How They Do It
All work is done by volunteers at no cost to the homeowner. Corporations, individuals and other groups sponsor or donate funds or materials to cover project and operational costs.
