[Re]Builder Month
Rebuilding Together New Orleans is excited to host our 33rd Annual [Re]Builder Month (previously known as October Build) in 2023!
The dates for [Re]Builder Month this year are Friday and Saturday November 3rd and 4th, and Friday and Saturday November 10th and 11th.
Last year we hosted the 32nd Annual [Re]Builder Month presented by Shell, and with the help of almost 300 volunteers from 21 local teams Rebuilding Together New Orleans was able to work on 8 houses during the course of [Re]Builder Month!
Community revitalization is a core pillar of Rebuilding Together New Orleans’ work. No project better exemplifies those efforts than [Re]Builder Month. That community effort, originally known as Christmas in October (and Christmas in April nationally), engages hundreds of volunteers in a “blitz” build designed to provide eight to ten families with critical safe and healthy repairs over just a few weekends. No community understands nor exudes the community based “it takes a village” better than New Orleans. Neighbors helping neighbors, strangers helping strangers; it’s that mindset that continues to help New Orleans become a more resilient, equitable community. Rebuilding Together New Orleans listens to the communities it works with to provide assistance that addresses the underlying needs of a neighborhood. Past projects also include murals, a tool library, community makerspace, community garden, women’s shelter, parks, and playgrounds.
