Rebuilding Together Day Is April 25
National Rebuilding Month is an annual month-long call to service, culminating with National Rebuilding Day, the last Saturday of April. Last April 2019, nearly 30,000 volunteers donated 230,000 hours to complete rebuild projects, including homes, nonprofit facilities, and community spaces throughout the country.
“Rebuilding Together” started with the simple act of neighbors helping neighbors.
In 1973, a small group of people in Midland, Texas, realized a growing need in their community. Homes in their community had fallen into disrepair and their neighbors could not afford to fix them on their own. The group volunteered their time and skills to rehabilitate the homes of their neighbors. Realizing the potential impact of this work, the group formed Christmas in April, with the intent of performing repair and rehabilitation work in their community every April.
News of the group’s good work spread slowly, but eventually achieved national recognition. The mission spread beyond the idea of providing service once a year in April to bringing together partners from all walks of life to help neighbors year-round. The national office became known as “Rebuilding Together” in 1988.
Today, “Rebuilding Together” has grown into a premier nonprofit community revitalization organization.
Together, with corporate and community partners, homes are repaired, communities are revitalized, and lives are rebuilt. The affiliates of “Rebuilding Together” along with nearly 100,000 volunteers complete about 10,000 rebuild projects nationwide each year.
This year, “Rebuilding Together” asks you: What does home mean to you?
This year, as an organization, they are committed to the safety and health of our communities. With the spread of COVID-19 across the country, they are postponing any large gatherings, including rebuild projects, to protect the health of volunteers and those who would be served.
National Rebuilding Month exemplifies the mission of “Rebuilding Together”, helping to solve for the urgent need for safe homes and communities for everyone. Recognizing that unsafe or unhealthy living conditions at home account for many of the leading causes of preventable fatality, illness, and disability today—this annual effort demonstrates the positive effects of home and neighborhood revitalization on the overall health of homeowners, families, and communities.

Once again I missed a day, so to make that up you get a little PSA about kitchen safety: If you turn anything on or heat anything up in your kitchen, whether that’s heating a frozen dinner or cooking a complex meal, you should have fire suppression tools within easy reach!
Remember to never, ever use water on a grease or oil fire. You can cover it with a lid or apply baking soda, but the best option is to have a kitchen-rated fire extinguisher available within reach and know how to use it.
Mine pictured here is a 2-pound ABC rated extinguisher, and I keep it tucked right outside the kitchen door for easy reach without trapping myself in the kitchen. The goal is to upgrade it to a 5-pound extinguisher soon because the extra few pounds can make quite a difference when knocking down a fire.
