welcome...
Rebuilding Day 2008 - Saturday, April 26th, was National Rebuilding Day, when Rebuilding Together affiliates in more than 200 cities and towns across America work to preserve affordable home-ownership and revitalize older communities. In the Baltimore area, our target neighborhoods were in the City and Turner Station in the County. More than 1,000 amazing volunteers, including Derrick Mason of the Baltimore Ravens, repaired more than 40 homes and completed more than a dozen community projects during this annual event. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS & SPONSORS!
