We recently hosted volunteers from Do Good Events, who helped with yard clean-up in the Rondo neighborhood of Saint Paul. One of their core values is to “Believe in the Power of Community.” We were thrilled to partner with Do Good Events to put this value into action in Saint Paul!
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!
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!
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!
