Rebuilding Together

Rebuilding Together has touched countless lives over its 25-year history at our church. Marcie Tuggle sums it up, “So often the homeowners are overwhelmed financially and emotionally. This gives them a fresh start.” Considering the volunteer’s perspective, she says with a smile, “You really do get so much more back than you give.”

All levels are needed and welcomed, from the most skilled work like drywall repair and new floor installation to painting and clearing yard debris. A careful effort is made to match each volunteer to a job suited for them. Volunteers are divided into teams and each team is given a specific task, such as renovating a bathroom or building a wheelchair ramp. After the preparations are done, the day arrives. Volunteers meet early in the morning at Floris UMC, check in, receive T-shirts, strategize and travel to the site. The work is typically completed in 8-10 hours.

This year, Floris UMC will participate Saturday, April 25, 2020. You must register to volunteer. Registration deadline is Monday, April 13 or when all volunteer slots are filled. If you have any questions, please contact Mike Fee: mfee@florisumc.org or 703-793-0026 x112.
