Rebuilding Together LaPorte

Volunteers for Build Day 2017

On Saturday, May 6 of 2017, Rebuilding Together LaPorte County will be working on several homes in LaPorte and Michigan City. Volunteers – skilled and unskilled are needed to make that happen!

From lunch delivery drivers, breakfast setup, yard clean up, and yes, construction work – we need a variety of skill types to make these homes look nicer and become safer for the homeowners.

If you have a passion for helping others and would like to help this year, please submit an application – we will get back to you with your house assignment or other ways that you can help on May 6th.

2017 Homeowner Application #1

Homeowner Application #1 is now available online via the link below.

HOMEOWNER APPLICATION #1

Initial applications must be received by December 31st of 2016 for consideration.

Upon review, homeowners most likely to be considered for our build day based on location and needs will be contacted for a property viewing and to complete additional paperwork to access qualification.

This is NOT extreme home makeover – safety and living standards are the main concerns. Cosmetic issues may be addressed as part of our neighborhood beautification effort, but are not the main mission of Rebuilding Together LaPorte County.

Please be sure to tell us as much as you can via the desired repairs section of the APPLICATION.

Thank you!

HELP to Make a Difference!

Can YOU help to make a difference in our community?

Rebuilding Together, a national organization that strengthens communities by providing low-income homeowners with critical home repairs through the work of volunteers, will soon have a La Porte County Affiliate!

Our very first workday will be in May of 2015! The work day will involve numerous volunteers working on homes in targeted areas of La Porte and Michigan City. This work day will become an annual event and La Porte County will be a part of over 10,000 Rebuilding Together projects that happen in our country every year!

We are ready to get to work, but there is much to do in the planning and start up of this venture. There will be insurance costs, start up fees, promotional expenses, and mailing fees, just to name a few. We need to secure donations from community leaders, businesses, and the people who care about seeing the transformation of homes and buildings in our neighborhoods through the efforts of Rebuilding Together.

Rebuilding Together La Porte County greatly appreciates your consideration of a donation, at any level and will recognize your contribution as listed in the attached flier. RTLC also accepts matching gifts and stock transfers, as well as donations through employee giving and matching gift programs.

Through Rebuilding Together La Porte County, YOU CAN help make a difference in our community that will be transformational for the homes and lives of our neighborhoods!
