Volunteers are the heart of the repairs we provide. More than 300,000 volunteers have made a huge difference since 1982. Our contractors provide licensed work to make the home safer and more resilient, then volunteers complete the project. This helps us to stretch each dollar to serve even more of our neighbors: low-income elderly, U.S. Military Veterans and working families in need.

Here’s how you can join us:

Volunteer Crews

Crews of about 20 volunteers join us from companies, trade associations, faith groups or community organizations. Here’s how we run our Volunteer Home Repair Program (VHRP):

• Companies and other capable crews sponsor RTH with a financial commitment. See our sponsorship levels as a guide.

• Plan for the project to be 2 8-hour days

• Most of our volunteers work in April and October, but any month may be available

Our spring VHRP is coming up.
If you’re interested in volunteering,
please contact Lenny DiFranza <ldifranza@rebuildinghouston.org>

Self-led crews can suggest their own work days and we will discuss if those days are available.
