OUR VOLUNTEERS ALSO COMPLETED THREE COMMUNITY PROJECTS THAT POSITIVELY AFFECTED THE LIVES OF AN ADDITIONAL 164 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN FOR A TOTAL OF 307 PEOPLE WHO WERE BENEFICIARIES OF OUR SERVICE AND WHOSE LIVES WERE IMPROVED. WE CONSTRUCTED 17 WHEELCHAIR RAMPS PROVIDING SAFE ACCESS TO HOMES FOR THOSE WITH PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. UTILIZING THE SERVICES OF OUR DEDICATED CORE OF VOLUNTEERS, AS WELL AS EMBRACING VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, OUR CLIENTS WERE THE BENEFICIARIES OF 3,412 HOURS OF DONATED SERVICE AT A VALUE OF $121,535 (BASED ON THE INDEPENDENT SECTOR'S 2021 VALUE OF VOLUNTEER LABOR IN NY OF $35.62 PER HOUR).

OUR MISSION IS TO REPAIR HOMES, REVITALIZE COMMUNITIES AND REBUILD LIVES. BY PROVIDING FREE HOME REPAIR SERVICES FOR LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS (SENIORS, VETERANS, FAMILIES), WE HELP REBUILD THEIR LIVES BY TAKING CARE OF MANY OF THE REPAIRS SO THEY CAN LIVE IN SAFER, HEALTHIER HOMES. FOR THOSE WITH PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS, WE PROVIDE FREE MODIFICATIONS TO IMPROVE THEIR ACCESSIBILITY, AS WELL AS THEIR INDEPENDENCE. IN 2024, REBUILDING TOGETHER LONG ISLAND COMPLETED 197 RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WHICH POSITIVELY IMPACTED THE LIVES OF 334 HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS. THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF THOSE WE SERVED WAS ONLY $35K. WE ALSO COMPLETED ONE COMMUNITY PROJECT, INSTALLING NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT A NEIGHBORHOOD PANTRY AND OUTREACH CENTER. WITH THE DEDICATION OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, WE WERE ABLE TO CORRECT 750 HAZARDOUS/UNSAFE CONDITIONS. FURTHER, 272 SMOKE DETECTORS WERE INSTALLED AS PART OF OUR FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. ROOFS, WINDOWS AND DOORS WERE REPLACED, PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES CORRECTED, HOMES WERE WEATHERIZED, NEW FLOORING INSTALLED AND MORE. FOR OUR SENIORS AND THOSE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY, 17 WHEELCHAIRS RAMPS WERE BUILT BY OUR VOLUNTEERS.

DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON, WE ONCE AGAIN DELIVERED GOODY BAGS TO THIS YEAR'S CLIENTS FILLED WITH USEFUL EVERYDAY ITEMS THAT WE ALL NEED (PAPER GOODS, PERSONAL HYGIENE ITEMS, ETC.). FOR SOME, IT WAS THE ONLY HOLIDAY GIFT THEY RECEIVED. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS FOR GIVING SO MUCH OF THEIR TIME AND THEIR SKILLS. WE ALSO THANK THE CORPORATE VOLUNTEERS WHO JOIN US AND WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH OUR CREWS TO IMPROVE THE LIFE OF SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A HELPING HAND. WE ARE ALSO GRATEFUL TO OUR GENEROUS DONORS AND SPONSORS WHO SUPPORT OUR WORK AND BELIEVE IN OUR MISSION AND OUR VISION OF SAFE AND HEALTHY HOMES FOR EVERYONE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$263.5K
