ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Home Builders Association, on behalf of the Home Builders Charitable Foundation, has awarded $20,000 to Rebuilding Together Saint Louis.

Rebuilding Together Executive director Elaine Powers and board member Ken Van Bree of RubinBrown LLP accepted the gift.

The donation will be used toward Rebuilding Together Saint Louis’ Rebuilding Day Program.

Rebuilding Together revitalizes neighborhoods in partnership with the community by rehabilitating the houses of low-income home owners, particularly the elderly and the disabled, so that they may continue to live independently in comfort and safety. Rebuilding Day is the organization’s annual one-day blitz where volunteers make home repairs and a lasting impact on home owners in the St. Louis Metro area.
