Rebuilding Together is a Ridgewood based organization that helps neighbors who have worked all their lives and have been physically and financially able to maintain their homes in good condition. Now, due to illness, aging, economic hardships, or the loss of a spouse, they are unable to handle the repair work themselves. Their homes deteriorate or become unsafe. That’s where Rebuilding Together Bergen County can help.
Rebuilding Together brings together corporate and individual donors, skilled trades individuals, community organizations, and hundreds of general volunteers each year.
Together we transform the lives of low-income homeowners by improving the safety and health of their homes and revitalizing our communities.
Our vision: A safe and healthy home for every person
One of 167 Rebuilding Together affiliates across the nation, Rebuilding Together Bergen County serves homeowners throughout the county and has made more than 500 homes safer and healthier since our founding in 1998.
Our programs include National Rebuilding Day (the last Saturday in April), Fire Safety (smoke- and CO-alarm installations and fire-safety education), and Critical Needs (primarily accessibility ramps and, if emergency funding permits, assistance with roofs, heat/hot water, and appliances).
Our volunteers include employees of our local and national corporate sponsors, members of faith-based or civic groups and organizations, as well as individuals from the community.
