Greetings!

Our first Fall Rebuilding Day was a huge success thanks to the support of seven of our longtime partners and a team of our year-round volunteers. The repairs and modifications they made on Saturday will have a lasting impact for the homeowners and nonprofit residential facilities that we served.

I'm incredibly proud of our team leaders and volunteers who joined us after missing two National Rebuilding Days due to the pandemic. I was fortunate to visit many of the nine projects on Saturday to see our teams in action. The energy and smiles from the volunteers and homeowners were contagious! Everyone was excited to be back out in the community doing what they love - making a tangible difference in the hearts and homes of our neighbors.

More than 100 community members volunteered their time to tackle a variety of repairs and modifications to correct health and safety hazards that included: installing grab bars and railings; making plumbing and electrical repairs; replacing appliances that were no longer functioning; installing new toilets, vanities, faucets and exhaust fans in bathrooms; patching and painting damaged walls, doors and ceilings; diverting water away from homes; removing and repairing broken fences; tacking overgrown yards; and so much more.

Please join me in thanking our caring and dedicated volunteers for an incredible day of work! And a special thank you to the women and men who served as team leaders who spent countless hours planning repairs, coaching their teams and sweating the details to make their projects a success.

RLAH Real Estate hosted their very first Rebuild on September 15 in Arlington. It was a big success and the volunteers had a great day working together to help a neighbor in need.

Dell Technologies Women in Action DC/Virginia Chapter will be running our first She-Build this weekend, and several other partners are planning for Rebuilding Days later this fall.

If you had to choose, would you pay for a medicine or pay for a plumber? Would you feed your family or fix your leaky gutters? These are choices some of our neighbors have to make every day. We can help make these choices easier together. Please contribute today so Rebuilding Together -AFF can continue to provide free home repairs and modifications for our neighbors in need.
