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
