#GivingTuesdayNow supports Emergency Repair Fund

Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte is participating in #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of giving and unity that will take place as an emergency response to the need caused by COVID-19. #GivingTuesdayNow will take place on Tuesday, May 5, 2020.
 
Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte serves incredibly vulnerable populations, older adults, and people with disabilities, and is often the primary resource delivering emergency home repairs to these groups. We are monitoring the spread of COVID-19, taking precautions to protect high-risk individuals and families, and preparing for increased demand and new ways of delivering our services. The costs and efforts associated with providing these services and protecting these vulnerable populations require additional emergency funding. Everyone in this country should have a decent place to live, especially in times of crisis, and this is why we are asking for your help. With your help, we can make sure Rebuilding Together is still around for years to come and continue to strengthen our community.
 
Although we have decided to postpone our volunteer projects until the virus outbreak subsides, we cannot let the threat of COVID-19 prevent older adults, families with young children, and people with disabilities from accessing emergency home repairs they need to stay safe in their home during these unprecedented times. Your support can help secure the necessary resources to efficiently serve the most vulnerable members of our communities, including help with:

  • Repairing leaking roofs

  • Installing an AC unit to a bedroom or modifying a home to prevent falls and help neighbors shelter safely in place

  • Replacing faulty water heaters

  • Performing status checks on seniors and other at-risk clients by phone and helping them access additional resources such as food and medicine

  • Providing home repairs so a moderately ill person can come home from the hospital and quarantine at home, which serves to ease the burden on local hospitals

Support our community on May 5 by going to https://rebuildingtogetherclt.org/donate and making a donation to help meet our goal of $5,000. With your support, we can help our neighbors during the spread of COVID-19. If you have any questions about other ways to get involved, please contact Beth Morrison at bmorrison@rebuildingtogetherclt.org.
 
Thank you for your generosity.
