Patty Solecki Receives CapacityCorps Legacy of Service Award

We were thrilled to celebrate the contributions of our one of our own earlier this month at Rebuilding Together’s National Conference. Patty Solecki, who served two terms as an AmeriCorps CapacityCorps member with us from 2007-2009, was awarded the first Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps Legacy of Service Award! The award honors a CapacityCorps alum who exemplifies the spirit of AmeriCorps and a life-long commitment to serving their community.

We could not be prouder of Patty and all that she has accomplished. Since completing her terms of service, Patty has continued to give back – attending countless rebuilding projects, including every Building a Healthy Neighborhood event, MLK work weeks and other projects, and making an impact in at least a dozen communities. Congratulations Patty!

The Toro Company Gives Back

The Toro Company donated 10 snowblowers and 10 lawnmowers to Rebuilding Together this fall, and members of our Board of Directors recently delivered the snowblowers and lawnmowers to our homeowners.  We are so grateful to Toro for their donation, and we were thrilled to be able to give our homeowners an early holiday gift!

Kickoff to Rebuild Gets Underway!

We launched our Kickoff to Rebuild projects this month, in anticipation of SuperBowl LII! More than 120 volunteers from Lowe’s, CBRE, and the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS made repairs for six low-income homeowners in the Tilsenbilt neighborhood in South Minneapolis and rehabilitated a community garden.  We also hosted a Resource Fair and Community Art Project at St. Peter’s AME Church in Minneapolis where the public was invited to decorate parts of peace poles that will later be placed in the community gardens.

Phase two of this incredible project will take place on February 2, 2018 as volunteers repair the interior of the homes.
