Thanks to Lowe’s!

We’d like to send a thank you to Lowe’s for providing us with a $5,000 grant towards materials for upcoming projects.  Thank you for your continued support of our work to help homeowners in need live in safe and healthy homes!

Welcome to our Right Track Intern – Armand!

Please join us in welcoming Armand Willis, our Right Track Intern! Armand is a graduate of Como Park Senior High School and most recently, Focus Beyond Transition services.

Armand will spend the summer helping us with various tasks, including logging information into SalesForce, organizing files, and assisting with painting homes for those in need.

Through the Saint Paul Summer YJO2 Right Track internship program, Armand was placed with Rebuilding Together and we are thrilled to have his help!

Volunteer Highlight: Greg Krenz

We would like to send a special thanks to Greg Krenz, a retired Board member and a long-time MidCountry Bank volunteer.  Greg recently became one of our first Project Leaders. 

Our Project Leaders are individual volunteers who help Rebuilding Together Twin Cities lead and manage our home repair projects. They are independent of any sponsor group and are critical to our ability to continue to expand our services so we can help more people in need live in safe and healthy homes.

Greg supervised and led three teams of volunteers as they installed flooring, painted, and landscaped. On large projects, it is impossible for the Rebuilding Together staff person to effectively manage 15 volunteers, especially if a group needs extra attention due to the complexity of the work. Having someone like Greg serve as a Project Leader is a force multiplier that allows us to work more efficiently and provide a higher quality of work. Project Leaders like Greg also facilitate better volunteer engagement and ultimately more projects each year.

Thanks Greg!

Thanks to the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation

We are thrilled to share that the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation gave us $10,000 to support safe and healthy housing repairs for families in need in the Twin Cities.  This grant will support 20 home repair projects for low-income families with children.  We are grateful for the generosity and support of the Schulze Family Foundation!
