Thanks to the Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors for coordinating the Realtors Reach Out Volunteer Day which was held on October 24. Volunteers from Howard Hanna Real Estate, Coldwell Banker Realty, Re/MAX Realtor Professionals/D'Angelo Realty, Coldwell Banker Realty, DreamHome Realty and Joy Daniels Real Estate worked on Sandra's house on Green Street in Harrisburg.

Repairs included installing smoke/CO detectors, replacing deck boards, yard clean up, installing weatherstripping, installing a railing to the 2nd floor and repairing a walk-in shower. These repairs improve her safety and decrease her utility bills. Thank you to all who participated!

Also seen in the photo, Sandra loves to decorate for the holidays!

Rebuilding Homes and Lives for 30 Years!

Thanks to all our volunteers for another successful Annual Event Day which was held on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Even though it rained off and on, the volunteers were able to finish most of their projects. Volunteers prepared and delivered lunches; picked up the trash for disposal in a donated Waste Management dumpster and repairs and modifications were completed in eight houses located in Perry, Cumberland and Dauphin counties.

Our work preserves affordable housing so our homeowners can remain in their home and live in a safe and healthy environment.
Thank you to the following churches who were involved with our event day: Silver Springs Presbyterian, Hummelstown Church of Christ, Derry Presbyterian, Bethany United Methodist, Second City Church and the many friends of RTGH who volunteer each year.

Thanks to Waste Management, Kennedy Catalano Advisors Financial Group, Over the Top Balloons, Giant, Wegmans and GC and Sons Home Improvement for their donations and thank you to all our financial supporters!
