2007 Press Release: City Promotes "Rebuilding Together" Program

For immediate release
December 18, 2007

Des Plaines Health and Human Services Coordinator Kathy Puetz would like residents to be aware of the following information regarding the Rebuilding Together Program:

"Program is seeking applicants who are physically or financially unable to maintain their homes."

"Rebuilding Together" (formerly Christmas in April) is a national organization, founded in 1988, that is a partnership with communities that rehabilitates the homes of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, so that they continue to live in warmth, safety and independence.

The 2008 Rebuilding Together Day is set for Saturday, April 26, 2008. This event is supported entirely by contributions of time, labor, material and money. Skilled and unskilled volunteers, along with able-bodied members of the recipients’ families and/or employees of the sponsoring organizations, complete the repairs at no cost to the homeowner.

If you are interested in volunteering or have a home that needs repair please contact Rebuilding Together in April/Northwest Suburban Chicago at 847-904-4366. Applications are due by February 1, 2008.

Applications are available in Room 502 (the Human Services Division), Des Plaines City Hall, 1420 Miner Street, Des Plaines, Illinois 60016 or online at by clicking here,
