What is it?

Enjoy snacks, beverages and music, while volunteering in a fun and unique way, all while raising money for Rebuilding Together Twin Cities! Over the course of the night, socialize with staff, board members, donors, volunteers and homeowners as we send letters to each of our contacts on behalf of Rebuilding Together Twin Cities to build support and generate resources for our upcoming build season!

How does it work?

Just come with a list of about 20 contacts to whom you can mail our fundraising letter and bring your beverage of choice to share.  Before the party, edit your letters (two options are available here). Print your letters and bring them to the party, where you’ll stuff them while partying with our fellow Rebuilding Together Twin Cities friends. We will provide the envelopes, brochures and postage.  For every 10 names you bring, you’ll receive one ticket to enter our door prize drawing!
