25th Annual Spring Rebuilding Day underway!
Rebuilding Together Seattle's
25th Annual Spring Rebuilding Day
is less than two months away! This year our signature program event (launched in April 1990) will commemorate our 25th year of service to the greater Seattle community.
On Saturday April 25th, volunteers will restore 25 homes and nonprofit facilities with roughly 1,000 volunteers. Project locations will span from Shoreline to Burien. A special presentation will be made that day to the Junior League of Seattle in celebration of their 25th consecutive Spring Rebuilding Day project with RTS!
Rebuilding Together Seattle is grateful for the support of over 20 sponsors who will make our 25th Annual Spring Rebuilding Day possible. RTS sends a special thanks to top sponsors Greenpoint Technologies, Wells Fargo, Booz Allen Hamilton, Perkins Coie, Sears, and Stratos.
If you or your company would like to get involved with Rebuilding Together Seattle for Spring Rebuilding Day, please contact Caleb Marshall, Program Director, at [email protected]. RTS is currently looking for skilled volunteers who can lend their home repair skills to volunteer teams, and companies who are willing to provide in-kind donations of skilled labor, project materials, equipment rentals, or volunteer food!
