Sunnyside is a diverse neighborhood, with some folks having spent 30, 40 or even more years of their life in our corner of the City. As we get older, it can become more difficult to care for our home and ensure its safety. Rebuilding Together SF (RTSF) is a non-profit organization that recruits volunteers to assist in repairing community members’ homes.
In 2010, RTSF launched its new Changing Neighborhoods, Changing Lives campaign. They hope to create partnerships with existing San Francisco neighborhood groups to execute neighborhood improvements, including home repairs, facility and school renovations, community green projects and energy efficiency retrofits. The goal is to support positive changes that have already been initiated by the neighborhood, build on established momentum, and increase the neighborhood’s capacity for growth and change.
Perhaps you know of a senior member could use some assistance and you would like to help out? Visit http://www.rebuildingtogethersf.org/about-us.html. There are guidelines and information on who may qualify and the information on deadlines, etc. While there is no guarantee that one of our neighbor’s homes will be picked, we want to share this information that might help one of our neighbors.
