Review for Rebuilding Together With Christmas In April Inc, Peoria, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

From the first time I helped this group rehab the home of an elderly cancer survivor, I was hooked! I am still amazed at the amount of home repairs this group can accomplish through sheer volunteerism with no paid staff and no cost to the homeowners. As a volunteer, I derive great personal satisfaction when I see a homeowner's face light up at the end of the work day, often with tears of appreciation. As aboard member, I am in awe of the numbers of volunteers mobilized each year, and am proud of the financial stewardship that limits administrative expense.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

16 years of working with their volunteers to repair the homes of low-income elderly and/or disabled homeowners.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

improve market awareness of their programming.
