Our Mission

We are neighbors helping neighbors.

Rebuilding Together is a movement of neighbors helping neighbors, working to build stronger communities across the country. We believe everyone has the right to a safe home.

Bringing together neighbors, volunteers and partners, we care for each other and keep our neighbors safe in their homes.

Our Impact

Repairs change lives.

Rebuilding Together Duneland’s work goes far beyond essential home repairs—we have a deep impact on neighbors’ lives. A repaired window shields a family from extreme weather, keeping them healthy. A simple grab bar grants years of independence to older adults who want to age safely at home. A new stove brings the opportunity of home-cooked meals. Every repair we make is more than just a fix—it’s a foundation for safety and stability. With each home we repair, we’re creating the opportunity for neighbors and families to thrive.

Helping older adults stay safe and independent.

Older neighbors are feeling trapped in their own homes because simple, everyday tasks can become obstacles. Stairs feel risky, and a missing grab bar could mean the difference between safety and a serious fall. After a lifetime of hard work, many older adults can’t afford the simple modifications that would keep them in the homes they love. That’s when Rebuilding Together steps in. With simple, cost-effective, lifechanging repairs—like railings and accessibility ramps, our older neighbors can age in place with confidence. These repairs aren’t just about safety, they preserve independence and community connections.

We create safe homes where children can thrive.

A child’s home should be a place of safety, not a source of stress. But for too many families, broken windows, faulty wiring and unsafe plumbing put children at daily risk— making it harder to just be a kid. By making homes safer, we are creating the foundation for the stable, secure homes children need to grow, learn and thrive. A safe home isn’t just shelter—it’s the foundation for a child’s success. Through home repairs, we are investing in children–the future of our communities.

We honor and support our veterans.

After serving our country, no veteran should be living in unsafe conditions. Rebuilding Together makes critical home repairs, ensuring veterans live in homes that are adapted to their needs, giving them safety and independence. By rebuilding homes, we’re honoring their service—because after giving so much, they should have a safe place to call home.

Our Focus

Improve the lives of those in the Duneland community.

Safe and Healthy Housing

Home disrepair is a community problem,

not an individual one. We believe everyone has a right to a safe home. Home disrepair happens behind closed doors, invisible even to neighbors. But its impact ripples through personal

lives and livelihoods and beyond, damaging the safety, vibrancy and longevity of our communities.

Community Revitalization

We improve common and non-profit sites to improve the Duneland community as a whole.

Volunteers & Sponsors

Our volunteers and sponsors are the lifeblood of our work.

Thanks to the generous donations from our sponsors we are able to fund the materials needed for our projects.

We bring together skilled contractors

and volunteers who live in and love our communities. We make the critical repairs that help everyone feel welcomed, seen, secure, and proud in our homes and

communities.

For Neighbors, By Neighbors

As a national organization with local roots, nothing is

more critical to what we do than collaboration. It’s in our DNA. What started as a group of neighbors helping neighbors grew into a nationwide network. People trust us because we live in the same communities and we advocate for solutions to community challenges.

Our dedicated network builds coalitions of volunteers, professionals, and community leaders to share our collective skill and expertise where we’re needed.

Stability and Security

Our work isn’t just about improving safety at home. It creates stability for our neighbors and protection from unexpected crises. It improves accessibility, enables people to stay in and pass on homes that have been in their families for generations, and preserves the culture and history of communities. Most importantly, it gives underserved neighbors opportunities to thrive. By helping neighbors repair, rehabilitate, and restore their homes, we are helping people find a sense of comfort and community right where they are.

More than Repairs

Each home repair is an act of advocacy. Every day we see individuals struggling under the weight of systemic problems we know can’t be solved alone. Before we lend a hand, we lend an ear, to understand their challenges and help make their voices heard. Through the passion of our local affiliate and the power of our national organization, we rebuild tight-knit communities where no one can fall through the cracks.
