Free facility repairs
available for Non-Profits. It’s Rebuilding Together Portland to
the rescue!
Since 1990 Rebuilding Together
Portland has been realizing ambitious annual goals to repair and
rehabilitate both homes and non-profit community facilities.
While more than 50 homes are worked on each year, Rebuilding
Together Portland also helps five or six non-profits each year
with free facility repairs. Rebuilding Together Portland matches
coordinates projects year-round, but most of the work is done on
the last Saturday in April each year by more than a thousand
volunteers on that one day.
Rebuilding Together is a
non-profit organization supported entirely by contributions of
time, labor, materials, and money. Our core competencies include
identifying worthy homeowners and non-profits in need and
matching them with volunteers, supplies and materials.
Rebuilding Together Portland coordinates skilled and unskilled
volunteers and materials needed to complete the work in a day or
two. We are always looking for good projects at non-profit
properties where volunteers will enjoy and appreciate their
contribution.
To be eligible for
consideration, the applicant’s property must:
-
be the owner and occupant
of the property
-
assist low income
individuals whom are also elderly or disabled or with
children
-
be unable both financially
and physically to effect repairs themselves
-
be located on a property
in the city of Portland.
Safety and security are the
first priorities of Rebuilding Together. Our skilled and
unskilled volunteers do all types of work including painting,
plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, weatherization, yard
cleaning, debris removal, and much more!
When a project is accepted, a
scope of work is defined in advance, but the non-profit
organization and homeowners need to understand these are
volunteers and that time and weather may prevent them from
accomplishing everything planned to be completed.

assistance, fill out our
Non-profit Referral Form.
