Rebuilding Together Geneseo/Cambridge

Believe it or not but we're in the process of planning our National Rebuilding Day.

Save the Date: April 28th 2012

Stay tuned for the date and further details.

Volunteer and Homeowners had a wonderful experience this spring:

"Thank you just isn't enough. It was isn't enough." said a homeowner with a tear in his eye.

Another homeowner said, "I can't believe all of these people are volunteers. They don;t know us but came anyway to help out"

The words of a voluteer, "It's like a mission trip in your own back yard."

Sarah Snyder, Executive Director, said about her first Rebuilding Day, "What an amazing day to see so our communities come together and help their neighbor."
