This is an annual "barn-raising" event designed to repair and rehabilitate the homes of low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners as well as selected community non-profit facilities. After a year of planning and preparation, the program culminates in a one day "blitz" the last Saturday in April. The program has now expanded to include projects not only on this day, but year-round as well.

Each year Rebuilding Together Portland, screens approximately 150 low income homeowners and selects about 50-60 homes for repair. In addition 5-8 non-profit organizations benefit on the workday and projects throughout the year. Rebuilding Together Portland organizes 1,200-1,500 volunteers from all walks of life to unite on the last Saturday in April each year to complete equivalent to $900,000 worth of improvements to the community on that day. Other individual projects are performed throughout the year, but most of the work is done on the big day in April. These efforts are made possible with the help of a 20 member working board, financial contributions and the efforts of over 1,300 volunteers.

Rebuilding Together is a nation-wide organization that, in partnership with the community, rehabilitates the homes of low-income homeowners, particularly families with children and the elderly and disabled so that they can continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. Rebuilding Together-Portland also assists in the rehabilitation of community centers, schools and non-profits
