Rebuilding Together is the national leader in affordable housing preservation by bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives
of low-income homeowners in providing free repair services for those with the greatest need.

Since 1994, Rebuilding Together Pasadena has completed over 175 projects worth over $2.5 million dollars in keeping area homeowners safe and
warm in their own homes.

VOLUNTEER NOW FOR SPRING 2008 HOME REPAIRS

Victor Wright and his mother at their Altadena home.

Volunteer now to help us make repairs to Pasadena-area homes of your low-income, elderly, and disabled neighbors to be done in Spring 2008. Spring projects will be on Saturday, April 26 and Saturday, May 3.

Among the projects we take on is rebuilding the Altadena home of Victor Wright and his family. Victor was a John Muir High School football player in 1976 whose spinal injury sustained while attempting to tackle an opponent left him paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a respirator. Despite physical challenges, Wright has managed to complete an Associates Degree at Los Angeles City College and help found Family of Friends International, a non-profit organization.

However, severe health problems and financial difficulties are taking a toll on the family. Our plans are to renovate the bathrooms, repair the floor and handicap ramp, and make the home more accessible for Victor and his family. Please join us to help the Wrights and other deserving families this Spring. More information about Victor is available at the Friends of Victor Wright website.

Download a copy of our volunteer waiver for completion; you can complete the form and send us a copy ahead of time, but please bring the original copy with you to the volunteer workday. For more information, please go to our volunteer page.
