"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~Margaret Meade
This quote beautifully describes our RTMC community of volunteers, board members, staff team, and supporters who turned out in force to serve our neighbors in need during National Rebuilding Weekend. Together, they changed the world for the better for so many vulnerable Montgomery County residents and gave them safer, healthier places to live and thrive.
I’d like to thank our terrific House Captains, Home Ambassadors, Volunteer Coordinators, Area Coordinators, and Contractor Partners for their leadership and express my gratitude to all the volunteers who participated. Despite the rainy weather, our volunteers jumped in to complete needed tasks with smiles and good cheer.
I’d also like to thank our wonderful RTMC staff team for their relentless hard work to make the weekend a success: Mat Saunders, Gabby Garcia, Beki Mitiku, Christina Devlin, Vivian Bacarreza Navarro, Shelby Badger, and Karen Kozopas.
We have several more wonderful events coming up and we invite you to join us:
She Builds, a volunteer day organized by women, with women, for women is coming up on May 19 in partnership with members of ABC Metro Washington (Associated Builders and Contractors). The group will spruce up the exterior of Interfaith Work’s New Leaf Shelter. More info HERE.

With gratitude,
