Spring Forward!

March is here! On March 14th we’ll all “Spring Forward!”

We are marching towards National Rebuilding Day on April 24th! We are preparing to re-engage a limited number of volunteers. We’ll be doing mostly outside work in small, safe teams. Stay tuned for more details!

We have been busy in the past several months - no hibernation for us! We helped 7 neighbors with majors repairs and did more than 20 critical minor repairs for other neighbors. All thanks to a “Rural Preservation Grant” from the USDA.

We have a long waiting list and we are doing initial home visits for all those on our list to scope out the repairs needed and requested. This is going to be the busiest year ever for us. We also received a grant from the Maryland Affordable Housing Trust that will enable us to serve at least 15 neighbors on our list.

We will be expanding our staff next month with the addition of Scott Brewer as our construction manager. Scott will oversee our contractors, manage the multiple repairs on the different properties, assist with future volunteer work and pay attention to all things construction for Rebuilding Together Kent County! And, right now, this is a part-time position!

We’re excited about what 2021 holds in store for us, and I encourage you to sign up for emails and for future volunteer opportunities that are posted on our website as they become available.
