HRVP Ramp Team Volunteer Dale White Passed Away

We are sad to share the news that long-time Honeywell Retired Volunteer Program (HRVP) volunteer Dale White passed away in early November.  Our Ramp Team is made up of retired Honeywell employees and in the past five years, they have built 42 ramps, restoring independence to the homeowners they have helped.  The HRVP Ramp Team got together last month to celebrate Dale’s life, and he will be greatly missed.  Dale’s obituary is available here.  Our thoughts are with Dale’s family and friends.

Wells Fargo and Rebuilding Together Partner to Help Small Businesses!

Small business is a big deal in Minneapolis. It is important to the business owners, their customers, and the neighborhoods in which they’re located. The Wells Fargo Works for Small Business®: Neighborhood Renovation Program Contest is about helping small businesses thrive. Wells Fargo and Rebuilding Together Twin Cities, along with a team from MSR Design, recently renovated four small businesses in designated economic development focus areas in Minneapolis.

Hope and Healing Family Counseling, LLC was the Grand Prize winner of the Wells Fargo Works for Small Business Contest. Rebuilding Together Twin Cities and employee volunteers from Wells Fargo enhanced this important small business by turning the office’s unfinished space into three new therapy rooms and building an accessible and ADA-approved entryway.

Three additional finalists also received assistance with renovations: Mississippi Mushrooms, Ibrahim Restaurant, and Wendy’s House of SOUL.  To read more about this program and the winners, please click here.  Congratulations to all four small businesses and thank you to Wells Fargo for supporting their work!

Happy Holidays!

With the holiday season in full swing, we would like to thank ALL of YOU for your support and hard work to help homeowners in need this year.  In 2017, we partnered with more than 700 volunteers to provide safety and accessibility modifications for 55 low-income seniors and individuals living with a disability and much-needed repairs for 34 low-income .  These families can now live more independently in safer, healthier and warmer homes.  We were also able to assist the clients served by 14 nonprofits by making improvements and repairs to the facilities of these important organizations.  We simply couldn’t do what we do without the donations and hard work of people like you.  We wish you and your family a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!

Sincerely,

The Rebuilding Together Twin Cities Team
