Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of the repairs we provide. More than 300,000 volunteers have made a huge difference since 1982. Our contractors provide licensed work to make the home safer and more resilient, then volunteers complete the project. This helps us to stretch each dollar to serve even more of our neighbors: low-income elderly, U.S. Military Veterans and working families in need.

Here’s how you can join us:

National Rebuilding Month - April

Join us in the warehouse as we build picnic tables that will be donated to families in our community — creating spaces where neighbors can gather, share meals, and make memories.

Here are the details for this event:
Date: Wednesday, April 15th 2026
Time: 8:00a - 1:00p
Location: Houston, TX 77020
Skills: Sawing wood, building picnic tables, sanding
Food: Drinks and snacks will be provided

Volunteers will work in small teams of about 4–5 people to build a picnic table. Each build takes about 4–5 hours, and no advanced skills are required! Sign up below:

Volunteer Crews

Crews of about 20 volunteers join us from companies, trade associations, faith groups or community organizations. Here’s how we run our Volunteer Home Repair Program (VHRP):

• Companies and other capable crews sponsor RTH with a financial commitment. See our sponsorship levels as a guide.

• Plan for the project day to be 8-hours long. The work day can be split into morning and afternoon shifts from [8:00a - 12:00p] and [12:00p - 4:00p].

• Most of our volunteers work in Spring and Fall, but any month may be available.

Our Fall VHRP is coming up.

We always need Volunteers!

We'll let you know when we have Open Build opportunities, or when volunteer home repair crews need your help. Repair experience is not necessary, but greatly appreciated. Join our growing community of [Re]Builders today!
