A Hand Up!
Founded in 2007, Rebuilding Together Shawnee seeks to inspire the citizens of Shawnee to make a difference in their community and the lives of their neighbors, helping residents in need live independently with dignity. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping our neighbors in need. We know that the ability for families and individuals - particularly seniors and those living with disabilities - is often determined by the health and accessibility of the home.
That's why we are passionate about what we do. We help our low-income neighbors repair and maintain their homes so they can remain there and retain the dignity we believe every person deserves.
Rebuilding Together Shawnee is an affiliate of Rebuilding Together, the nation’s largest volunteer home rehabilitation organization. Rebuilding Together, comprised of more than 200 affiliates across 46 states, works to preserve homeownership and neighborhoods by providing home repairs and rehabilitation services free of charge to those in need.
Mission Statement & Our Vision - Repairing homes, revitalizing communities, rebuilding lives through safe homes and communities for everyone.
Board of Directors - Jim Brown, Steve Kyle, Matt Hurd, Phil McAnany & Kevin Tubbesing
