You can raise money for homeowners in need just by shopping on line at Amazon! Here’s how it works: when you’re planning to shop on Amazon, start at Amazon Smile at https://smile.amazon.com/. After you log into your account, you’ll be prompted to select a charity of choice. Please select Rebuilding Together Twin Cities and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to help homeowners in need in the Twin Cities.

On May 17th, we hosted our first annual Mother and Daughter Build! WCCO Radio’s Susan Blanch and her daughter were joined by four other mother/daughter pairs to repair Darla’s home in South Minneapolis. The homeowner we helped that day, Darla, is a proud grandmother who has some trouble navigating her home safely and independently. The mother and daughter teams worked together to finish a wheelchair accessible ramp, paint three bedrooms, caulk windows, and install interior handrails, two grab bars, and a storm door. The volunteers enjoyed a lunch donated by Subway. Many of the women also participated in a training on May 14th when we built two 4×4 walls and tiled them to use as training tools for our Safe at Home program.
Thank you to everyone who participated and thanks to Subway for donating lunch that day!
