April 29, 2023 - 7:00am to 3:00pm

SEAOI is partnering with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) for Rebuilding Together 2023

Rebuilding Together is a national organization dedicated to community revitalization where volunteers join forces to fix up homes that have fallen into disrepair due to lack of resources and/or abilities of the homeowners.  On Saturday, April 29th, SEAOI will be joining hundreds of organizations across the city and across the country on National Rebuilding Together Day in sponsoring the home of Mr. I, of Blue Island, IL. To truly make a difference to Mr. I, SEAOI is looking for the most important component of all: YOU!

Some of the activities the volunteers may be completing in Mr. I's home are:

  • Storm door replacement
  • Banister replacement
  • Doorbell installment
  • Repairing various minor items throughout home
  • Appliance replacement
  • Painting and patching interior walls
  • Assisting skilled laborers with minor plumbing and electrical work

     

Transportation:

Volunteers will need to carpool and/or provide their own transportation.

COVID-19 Precautions:

Masks are required for this event.

Summary:

Who: You are helping Mr. I

What: Home improvement projects to Mr. I's home

Where: Blue Island, IL (the exact address will be shared with volunteers prior to Rebuild Day)

When: Saturday, April 29th, 7AM – 3PM

Why: Because giving back through community involvement is one of the most rewarding things you can participate in!

Family members and significant others are welcome to join on Rebuild Day, but ALL VOLUNTEERS must be registered on SEAOI’s website.

Lunch will be provided and all volunteers will be expected to wear a Rebuilding Together t-shirt (distributed at the house).
