FARMINGTON HILLS – Rebuilding Together Oakland County will take on 27 projects in eight Oakland County municipalities during its Rebuild Day on April 30. More than 750 volunteers will work from dawn until dusk to ensure that families in communities throughout Oakland County Michigan live in a safe and healthy environment.

“With the help of our sponsors and volunteers, we’ll handle minor indoor repairs, painting, landscaping and in some cases replacing windows and building wheelchair ramps,” said Gale Frazee, president of RTOC. “We are working hard to help these homeowners maintain a safe, livable home.”

Each year, Rebuilding Together Oakland County, a local branch of the national non-profit organization, works with its huge coalition of volunteers to repair the homes and yards of low-income homeowners who are elderly, disabled, or military veterans and unable to do the work themselves.

Communities benefitting from the 2016 Rebuild Day include Commerce Twp., Farmington Hills, Fenton, Hazel Park, Highland Twp., Milford, Pontiac, and Southfield.

RTOC has been providing free home repair services to community residents for more than 20 years. With a 1:4 dollar return on investment, RTOC has helped more than 800 homeowners and contributed an estimated $7 million of market value back to the community.

Major 2016 Rebuild Day sponsors include:

Booz Allen Hamilton, Eaton, Charter Communications, Wells Fargo, Flagstar Bank, Iverson’s Lumber, DTE Energy, Federal Mogul, Honeywell, LOC Credit Union, Kirk in the Hills, Orchard United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church of Farmington, Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church, Faith Covenant Church, St. James Catholic Church, Greenfield Presbyterian Church, Highland Community Church, Highland Congregational, St. John Lutheran, Milford United Methodist Church, St. Gerald’s Catholic Church, Village Club Foundation, Milford Presbyterian Church, The Lakes Community Church, St. Fabian Catholic, St. Fabian K of C, Northbrook Presbyterian, City of Farmington Hills, City of Southfield, Rushlow Crew, and Transfiguration, and CEC, Inc.
