Organizers hope to raise $50,000 to help Rebuilding Together and its volunteers cover the cost of such repairs as insulating homes, installing wheelchair ramps, replacing major appliances and more. Since 1986, the group has helped with more than 1,300 projects in the city.
Rebuilding Together volunteers do home repairs throughout the year but the bulk of its volunteer projects occur on National Rebuilding Day in April when 1,000 volunteers gather to help.
