It all started with Christmas in October, an event that brought together local volunteers to help add value to their own communities by rebuilding houses and revitalizing neighborhoods. Since 1988, Rebuilding Together New Orleans has existed to organize this event, which relies on locals to dedicate two weekends of time, sweat and positivity to the task of revitalizing their city.
October Build continues each year because of the need to engage local volunteers. This year, Rebuilding Together New Orleans will work with 25 teams and 375 local volunteers on 17 houses throughout the city. In only four days, these volunteers will make noticeable changes in seven New Orleans neighborhoods. Though each house has specific needs, these volunteers will generally be working on everything from painting and landscaping to hammering and drilling.
