Serving Lansing Michigan and surrounding communities. Rebuilding Together strengthens the lives of our most vulnerable communities by providing low-income homeowners with critical home repairs, accessibility modifications and energy-efficient upgrades. Rebuilding Together’s local affiliates and nearly 100,000 volunteers complete about 10,000 rebuild projects each year. As we rebuild homes, community spaces and nonprofit facilities, our lasting impact helps to stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods across the country. We believe that everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy home.
Local Chapter
In 1993 a group of civic minded citizens in Ingham County decided to join a national movement to rehabilitate homes of their low income elderly and disabled neighbors. That organization was then known as Christmas in April. Today, 450 plus homes later, we are known as Rebuilding Together Ingham County, still thriving and now serving residents of the Greater Lansing Area, including Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties. Many of the homeowners we assisted worked hard all their lives to maintain their home. Now due to aging, illness and limited income they are unable to do the needed repairs to make their home safe and in some cases livable.
Our Board of Directors is all volunteers and has the yearlong task of planning Rebuilding Day, the last Saturday in April, and raising the funds to complete home repairs. The group is non-partisan, non-sectarian, and non-profit. Each year more applications are received than our group can assist, so our job is never completed.
The key to our success has been people like you, fellow Greater Lansing residents that give your time, working hands, and financial support to make homes safe and warm. Foundations, local businesses, faith communities, service organizations, associations, clubs and individuals provide in-kind and monetary contributions for repairs.
Rebuilding Together is a 501 (c)3 organization so all donations are fully tax deductible.
