Repairing Homes, Revitalizing Communities and Rebuilding Lives
November 2020
A Note From Our Executive Director
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, I am reflecting on the many things we are thankful for – our dedicated board and hardworking staff, the opportunity to help homeowners in need, and our rockstar volunteers and partners. Despite a global pandemic, we continue to serve the most vulnerable in our community and couldn’t do it without the tremendous team effort.

Thanksgiving may be different this year, yet the spirit of the holiday remains. On behalf of the entire RTMC team, I want to say thank you. Your commitment to our transformational work is appreciated and we are grateful to have you on our side.

Here’s to moving forward and helping others.
All the best,
Maury Peterson Signature

Rebuilding Together Montgomery County
We Need You This Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday, an international day of charitable giving at the beginning of the holiday season, is coming soon on Tuesday, December 1. With many of our low-income homeowners in Montgomery County desperately needing help to ensure their home is a safe and healthy place to stay, you can do something this Giving Tuesday to help our neighbors in need.


Rebuilding Together Montgomery County helps provide warmth, safety and independence to the most vulnerable. We currently have a long list of low-income homeowners with no heat, leaky roofs, and major electrical issues that need fixed before the winter weather arrives.

Neighbors helping neighbors — that’s what the world needs right now. With your help, we can accomplish anything!
Getting Ready for Winter
We’re working overtime to complete critical repairs that will prepare our vulnerable neighbors for the upcoming winter. We recently replaced an HVAC system for Mr. and Mrs. W, a senior citizen couple. Our important work means that they will have reliable heating to stay safe and warm in the coming months.

Have you made sure your home is ready for winter? We have some tips for you to help you prepare for whatever may come our way!
A Kind Thank You Note
Our work can be difficult, but it’s never thankless. The neighbors we serve understand the importance of what we do, and they aren’t shy about expressing gratitude for our services. This note that we recently received from a client really moved us, and we want to share it with you. We don’t do this work for praise, but we feel lucky to collaborate with such humble and considerate neighbors.
Honoring Veterans in Our Neighborhood
