Rebuilding Together Portage provides assistance to people who own their own home but who, because of physical limitation or income, are not able to cover the costs of home repair. Typically these individuals have a disability and/or are elderly, but low-income families and non-profit facilities such as schools, shelters and daycare centers are also included.

Every year, volunteers from the community come together to help individuals and families on our work day. The entire operation depends on volunteers like you. It takes a team of skilled and unskilled laborers willing to help others in our community.

When We Work
After months of extensive planning and preparation, Rebuilding Together Portage culminates on National Rebuilding Day, usually the last Saturday in April.

How It Works
Rebuilding Together Portage takes its cue from the old fashioned idea of “barn raising”, with as many as 75 skilled and unskilled volunteers assigned to a particular project. Homeowners are frequently amazed at the sheer number of people who come out to lend them a helping hand; they are even more amazed at the massive amount of work that can be accomplished by caring volunteers in a short period of time!

Why It Works
Rebuilding Together Portage does more with less. Every dollar spent is leveraged with over $4 in donated goods and services. It works because it’s neighbor-helping-neighbor to build safer and stronger communities.
