Rebuilding Together Day, May 12, 2022

Rebuilding Together (RT) held a special celebration for media, elected officials, board members, corporate partners, staff, volunteers, and guests to recognize the 40th anniversary of the non-profit organization. The program included Mayor Sylvester Turner, RT Houston Founder Rob Mosbacher, Jr., and RT Houston CEO Christine Holland, highlighting the work accomplished during the past 40 years with nearly 15,000 homes rebuilt in the Houston market, which averages one family served every day for forty years. Our sponsors for the event were Reliant and Valero.

The City of Houston, Harris County, Texas Legislature, and Governor of Texas all proclaimed May 12, 2022 as Rebuilding Together Day.

As part of the special day, volunteers from the presenting sponsors made repairs on two homes. Reliant helped the Ortiz family, and Valero helped the Cantera family. RT began these projects with contractors providing emergency plumbing repairs after the freeze of February 2021. Through the East End Community Revitalization Program, RT replaced their roofs, stabilized the structures, and made other internal repairs. All of this work was provided at no cost to the homeowners.
