Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago

Having a safe, healthy and affordable place to call home is the foundation for wellness, dignity and economic opportunity. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago is proud of our long-standing partnership with Wells Fargo to provide essential home repairs for neighbors in need across metro Chicago. This year, Wells Fargo is donating more than $1.2 million to our national office, Rebuilding Together, to help repair homes at no cost to neighbors in 46 communities across the country so they can remain safely in their homes. Thanks to the Wells Fargo team in Chicago for another job well done! #WellsFargoBuilds #WeAreRebuilders

We are still glowing from National Rebuilding Day! This year on National Rebuilding Day we had over 1,000 volunteers out in force working alongside over 60 homeowners to make essential no-cost repairs and accessibility modifications! Thank you to all of our sponsors, partners, and volunteers who help make it all possible. We truly could not do it without you.

Continental had a great presence once again at the annual Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago for 2024. Most of the work we were asked to complete was lighting and power modifications, code corrections, hood fan replacements, and overall cleanup of unsafe electrical conditions. Our four groups met some wonderful homeowners who welcomed us and appreciated the work that not only the electricians completed, but the painters, plumbers, and the Rebuild staff. This year our teams were split between two locations to utilize our service trucks more efficiently. The Englewood location was comprised of Team Cody: John Cody, Hector Ruiz, Kevin Kalchbrenner, Eric Tremore, and Jose Corcoles. Team Fritz: Jim Fritz, Bill Hayes, Dennis Ferriter, Adan Munoz, and Kevin Lake. The Park Forest location was comprised of Team Cronk:  Jim Cronk, Tony Falbo, Brian Swiatek, Fidel Sanchez, Ryan Kenney, Joe Webb, and Mike Petway. Team Bensema: Austin Bensema, Bob Flowers, Dave Marek, Jesse Schmidt, Jason Werner, and Jim Klingelschmitt Thanks to Local 134 and Powering Chicago for their continued efforts to build up communities and relationships for the good of the industry. Special thanks to our Service members who brought their vans for all the groups to work out of as well as the rest of the volunteers. Continental once again had the most participants at both locations and should be proud of the work we accomplished. #CECCoProud #Community #Volunteer

Making a Difference in Our Community! For several years, Gilbane has proudly volunteered with Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago to provide much-needed home improvements for Chicago residents. This past weekend, on #NationalRebuildingDay, we rolled up our sleeves once again alongside skilled trades workers, to help a local homeowner with various improvements including repairing the front door, installing new ceiling tiles in the rooms, upgrading the bathroom, painting and patching several rooms, and installing new safety features like smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. We believe in building more than buildings; we’re building a stronger, safer community. Thank you to our dedicated team for making a positive impact in the neighborhoods we serve! #BuildingMoreThanBuildings #NationalVolunteerMonth #GilbaneBuildsChicago #RebuildingTogether

Exciting weekend volunteering for a great cause through Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago! 🛠️ This past Saturday, I had the privilege of joining a fantastic group of volunteers from Lakeside Bank and Cullen Construction Management to renovate a home in Englewood. Together, we made a meaningful impact by transforming the living space of a gracious and humble homeowner. It was incredible to witness the positive change our efforts brought to the block and entire community.

On Saturday, April 27, Lakeside Bank employees joined in the renovation of a Chicago home as part of "Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago. Alongside Cullen Construction Management, a Lakeside client, Lakesiders collaborated on various projects aimed at enhancing the home. Across the nation, Rebuilding Together led home restoration projects in 34 cities on the same day for #NationalRebuildingDay! In the Chicago and Cook County area, 90 homes were greatly improved with these impactful projects. This past weekend marked Lakeside's 6th consecutive year (and 7th project) participating in Rebuilding Together, showcasing our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community.
