Our MISSION
Rebuilding Together Greater Harrisburg's (RTGH) mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and communities, assuring that low-income homeowners, from the elderly (over the age of 60) and disabled to families with children, live in warmth, safety, and independence. In partnership with local greater Harrisburg communities, our goal is to make a sustainable impact.
We make this impact through providing necessary repairs free of charge to existing homeowners. These necessary repairs often include home modifications, roofing, plumbing, and electrical repairs and/or improvements - our goal is to provide a warm, safe and dry environment for low-income homeowners, enabling them to live independently and with dignity.
RTGH accomplishes most community work on National Rebuilding Day, typically held on the last Saturday in April. But RTGH also provides some year-round repair services, and plans and prepares "special event" rebuilding projects.
Rebuilding Together Greater Harrisburg is headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and is one of many national affiliates throughout the United States. Founded in 1988, the national office www.rebuildingtogether.org provides assistance to affiliates in program development, board and staff development, marketing, communications, and financial management.
