November 16, 2015

Rebuilding Together Warner Robins (RTWR) is pleased to announce the Scott Hudgens Family Foundation, Inc. has awarded a grant in the amount $10,000 to support the rehabilitation of House of Promise #1.  House of Promise will assist the growing temporary need of homeless individuals in Warner Robins, Ga.   RTWR and long time partner Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church (UGMBC) are partnering to rehabilitate a three bedroom house located at 101 Driftwood Terrace, Warner Robins, GA 31088 to serve as a transitional shelter.  RTWR and UGMBC were able to leverage these dollars to support the rehabilitation of House of Promise #2 located at 104 Driftwood Terrace, Warner Robins, Ga. 31088.

Rebuilding Together National, formerly known as Christmas In April, came into being in 1973 and our local organization Rebuilding Together Warner Robins (RTWR) was formed in 1996 when a group from Robins Air Force Base decided to tap the resources of this very talented community to assist elderly, disabled and veteran homeowners with limited means in keeping their homes safe, warm and dry.  Our Vision is “A safe and healthy home for everyone” and our Mission is to bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners.

RTWR has been blessed over the years with tremendous community support in not only funding but also in volunteer time, labor and talent which allowed us to work on numerous houses each year.  To date we have completed repairs and modifications to 1008 homes.  RTWR is helping in the revitalization of our community touching thousands of lives here in Warner Robins.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Jerome Stephens, President RTWR, at 478-447-0251 or jeromestephens@bellsouth.net.
