REBUILDING TOGETHER is a volunteer organization that, in partnership with the community, rehabilitates the houses of low income homeowners. The program targets the elderly, disabled and families with children, so they may continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. REBUILDING TOGETHER is a nonprofit, non-sectarian organization supported entirely by voluntary contributions of time and money. After months of planning and preparation, the program culminates on a National rebuilding usually the last Saturday in April. All repairs are completed on that one day. This year’s rebuilding day is Saturday, April 25th.

The REBUILDING TOGETHER (formerly Christmas In April) program has been in existence in Manchester since 1992. The program has worked to restore approximately 937 homes. Over 18,500 volunteers have lent a hand in efforts to improve a neighbor’s living conditions. Improvements have included roofing, interior and exterior painting, replacement windows, plumbing, handicap ramps, electrical work, flooring, landscaping, carpentry work, and small repairs.
