Rebuilding Together Day brings out volunteers to help repair homes
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Volunteers and a non-profit are helping to repair eight homes as part of 'Rebuilding Together Day.'
Rebuilding Together is dedicated to helping low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners fix up their homes.
From painting and carpentry to laying bricks, there were plenty of tasks for the volunteers. It involved volunteer work from different businesses like Caterpillar and River City Construction.
Rebuilding Together Peoria, a local chapter of a national nonprofit volunteer organization, organizes the event.
Cade Lansford has volunteered for the last three years. He said the most rewarding part is seeing the reaction from the homeowner.
'I think that's the most rewarding part, seeing that appreciation from the homeowner and walking through when everything's done and seeing the hard work that the team has done. It feels good,' said Lansford.
