Thanks To….

Honeywell employees, family and friends – On July 28th, Rebuilding Together Twin Cities teamed up with Honeywell to host their annual Honeywell Family Day at the historic Gibbs Farm!  Nearly 100 volunteers of all ages came together for a day of hard work, food and fun.  Volunteers repaired fencing and landscaped around the farm.  Thanks again to everyone who volunteered that day!

The Home Depot Foundation and Frederickson & Byron Volunteer Team – The Home Depot Foundation recently sponsored home repairs for a veteran of the U.S. Airforce named Carl and his wife, Gloria.  More than 20 volunteers from Frederickson & Byron partnered with Rebuilding Together Twin Cities on July 11th to make these repairs, which included removing carpeting and installing wood laminate flooring; removing broken patio pavers and installing new pavers; moving a ceiling light fixture; cleaning the carpet; repairing the shower drain; repairing the sidewalk; and patching the foundation.  Thanks to the Home Depot Foundation and the Frederickson & Byron Volunteer Team!

Thank You to Travelers!

The Fourth Annual Travelers LDP Charity Golf Scramble at the Dellwood Hills Golf Course was a huge success!  Through this event, Travelers raised more than $30,000 that will go to help homeowners in the West 7th and Chelsea Heights neighborhoods of St. Paul live in safe and healthy homes.  This would not be possible without the hard work of the LDP planning committee and the continued support of the Travelers community.  Thank you again to Travelers, the LDP planning committee and everyone who participated in this event!
