Our History...

In 1973, a group of volunteers in Midland, Texas decided to devote one day in April to repairing the dilapidated homes of low-income, elderly neighbors in their community.

"Why this is just like Christmas in April," they were told. This idea spread quickly from city to city and, in time, across the country.

The idea reached Macon in 1992 when a coalition of Macon's community organizations, civic groups, companies, churches, and concerned individuals came together to form the organization—Christmas in April, Macon.

As our mission grew to a year-round service, our name changed to Rebuilding Together Macon.

Rebuilding Together Macon, Inc, is currently a year-round, non-profit, 501(C)(3)organization that encompasses several programs to assist the elderly and disabled. The main focus of our program still centers on our National Rebuilding Day held annually on the last Saturday of April.

Rebuilding Together Macon in partnership with community volunteers revitalizes neighborhoods, one house at a time, assuring that low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly and disabled, may continue to live in warmth, safety, and with independence.

Rebuilding Together Macon relies on donations of time, money, services, materials, and volunteers -both skilled and unskilled - to repair these homes. , Rebuilding Together volunteers repaired the homes of 135 elderly or disabled homeowners. The total market value of our home repairs now exceeds $4 million.

Your tax-deductible contributions mean so much to those we serve.
