Rebuild Together Fox Valley Project Day 2009

Many of you know one of my favorite projects is Rebuild Together Fox Valley. The local chapter has been in existence for nine years, and I've had the opportunity to be a Project Manager for the last two years.

Rebuild Together Fox Valley's mission is to preserve and revitalize homes and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, specifically seniors, and those with disabilities, can continue to live in warmth, safety and independence. they are a non-projet volunteer based organization that forms partnerships to rebuild and repair the homes of those in need.

This year, on May 2nd, over 750 volunteers converged to repair 18 homes of Fox Valley Residents. As a project manager, I am in charge of coordinating the volunteers on Project Day, as well as assisting with any prep work that may need to be done in advance. This year, I was a leader for Irma, a very sweet lady who lives in Appleton. Irma was a grade school teacher for St. Matthew's for many years. She's lived in her house and raised a family with her husband, Carl, since 1969. Since Carl passed away in 1994, Irma has been responsible for the home maintenance.

I was assigned a great group of volunteers from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. In one day, we were able to paint the interior and exterior of Irma's home, move the laundry to upstairs, install an entry shower and high rise toilet, install a handicapped ramp from the front door and do some updated landscaping.

The dedication of the staff from Rebuild Together Fox Valley, the volunteers, the gratitude in each homeowner's eyes make this Project Day special. You don't have to be a skilled carpenter to volunteer, you only need the willingness to push up your sleeves and get to work.

Next year's Project Day will be in May. Consider getting a group together so we can help even more people stay in their homes!
