Why is RTWR needed?
Rebuilding Together Warner Robins is responding to a crisis in our community – an aging affordable housing stock and the growing number of people who, because of age, disability or lack of resources, live in dilapidated or inaccessible housing. The correlation between household income and housing needs is undeniable, especially for lower-income homeowners. Our work has an impact on the individual homeowners and Warner Robins as a whole. Everyone deserves to live in a home that provides warmth, safety and dignity. We can accomplish this by revitalizing the existing housing stock of our communities, thus bringing forth positive and healthy changes in Warner Robins.

Over 1180 homes improved. More than $5 million value of improvements

Absolutely! We love donations. In general, we take the following items assuming they’re in good working condition:

• Recycled materials: windows, doors, tools, cabinets, etc.

• Misc: flooring, lighting fixtures, some furniture, etc

No. RTWR is an equal opportunity builder and does not discriminate based on ethnicity, sex, gender, religion or creed.
