Rebuilding Together Atlanta

We’re excited to share some incredible news!

Rebuilding Together Atlanta has been awarded a $50,000 grant from Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta ! Their generous support will help us continue critical home repairs and revitalization efforts for neighbors in need across our city.

With this funding, we can expand our impact, helping more families remain safely in their homes and communities. This investment, in partnership with the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, is part of a broader effort to strengthen communities and ensure more Atlantans have access to safe, healthy, and accessible housing.

"Thank you for changing my life." 🏡✨

Those are the words of Ms. Crawford, a 65-year-old Atlanta native, a devoted mother and grandmother, and a retired 30-year veteran of Emory University’s Environmental Services.

Ms. Crawford has called her SE Atlanta house in the Glenrose Park neighborhood "home" for over 30 years. It’s where she raised her children and where she holds the memories of her mother and son.

After years of hard work, severe arthritis in her knees and hips forced Ms. Crawford into early disability. Living on a fixed income, keeping up with essential home repairs became impossible. Her aging windows and doors became drafty, inefficient, and physically unsafe for someone with limited mobility to operate.

That is why Rebuilding Together Atlanta was thrilled to partner once again with Renewal by Andersen to help this legacy homeowner age in place with dignity, safety, and independence.

🛠️ Through their incredible Renewal Cares program, the Renewal by Andersen team isn't just funding this project; they are rolling up their sleeves. During this Day of Service, volunteers worked on completing exterior landscaping, painting, and critical safety upgrades.

Private-public partnerships like this are the backbone of our mission to ensure safe and healthy homes across Atlanta. We are so grateful to partner with Renewal by Andersen, again, to transform lives.

"I just can’t afford to do the things that my house needs," says Ms. Crawford. "I understand the power of volunteers to change lives. Thank you for changing mine."

Thank you to every volunteer on-site for restoring peace of mind to a true pillar of our community! 💙

🛠️ On April 29th, Rebuilding Together-Atlanta was incredibly proud to partner with a passionate team of volunteers from UKG to deliver critical health and safety repairs for a vital veteran-serving facility: VFW Rainbow Post 2681 in Marietta (Cobb County).

For years, Post 2681 has been a massive community anchor. Originally a skating rink converted into a VFW hall, this multi-purpose facility now serves over 25,000 individuals annually (including 10,000+ veterans). From hosting VA monthly health clinics and a robust food pantry to serving as a hub for Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and school supply drives, this space is a literal lifeline.

However, the pandemic severely impacted operations, leaving this aging facility in desperate need of upkeep and modernization to keep up with growing demands.

🤝 A Partnership Built on Impact

This project wouldn't be possible without UKG, a company that walks the walk when it comes to social responsibility. Over the past 6 years, UKG has been a leader in housing security and community care, investing more than $200,000 to improve the health and safety of homes and facilities across the Atlanta metropolitan area.

UKG volunteers are rolled up their sleeves to ensure Post 2681 remains a safe, functional, and welcoming pillar of hope for generations to come.

A massive thank you to every UKG volunteer on-site today. Because of your hard work, 5 community-based veteran organizations will continue to have a safe space to serve those who served our nation.
