Volunteers to Participate in National Rebuilding Day

As part of National Rebuilding Day, the local chapter of Rebuilding Together will be working on 45 local homes for seniors, persons with disabilities and families in need this Saturday.

Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/Falls Church (RTAFF) provides critical home repairs, accessibility modifications and energy efficient upgrades. It is one of 200 local affiliates of the national non-profit Rebuilding Together. Once a year, the organization participates in the rebuilding day where chapters nationwide find volunteers to participate.

The local chapter says that 40 teams totaling 1,000 people from area businesses and churches will be helping put in grab bars and stair railings, installing lighting, landscaping and painting.

This year, the organization is working on homes in Arlington, in the City of Falls Church and across Fairfax County in Alexandria, Annandale, Centreville, Chantilly, Falls Church, Springfield and Vienna.     

The nonprofit continues to welcome applications of people needing help as well as people looking to help. Right they are especially looking for skilled volunteers in electrical, carpentry and plumbing.
