November 27, 2014Greetings Volunteers!
We here at Rebuilding Together Muscatine County, Inc want to take this opportunity to say how very thankful we are for your gifts throughout the year.
We like to say it begins with an application. This is true, but what happens next, simply could not happen without YOU. You choose to give of your time, talents and treasures to help those around you. You not only get those jobs done, but you help to re-instill the dignity that so many who are in need have lost.
If you are a company that sponsored a home project; a board member, a carpenter guy or gal, a driver, a concrete guy or a roofer, a plumber or a drywall installer, if you are an electrician, a cleaner, a yard work person or a painter, or if you helped to get everyone fed or helped to clean up at the end of the day -We want you to know we are oh so
For absolutely everything you have done. We could not exist without you!
We hope that you enjoy your Thanksgiving and Christmas season, no matter how you get to spend it.
The board at RTMC, Inc.

One house at a time.
This is how it’s done, and we could not do any of it without the help of our volunteers and generous sponsors.

Retirement? What’s that?
What WIll You Be When You Grow Up?
June 6, 2014
When he isn’t at his “Real job”,
Frank Iliff spends his time and talents doing the thing he loves to do,
What he would like to do when he grows up;
Assisting those in need and making old people cry!
(Tears of joy of course!)
For several months,
He has been working with some folks in Cedar Rapids to help a budding non-profit there.
This non-profit will in turn,
Help those in their own neighborhoods who need a hand.
Not a hand out – But a hand up.
Yesterday’s event got some local television coverage –
Read about it here, and if you click the link,
You can see the actual news broadcast.
I wonder how many people he made cry this time?

National Rebuilding Together Day 2014
May 4, 2014On Saturday April 26th, Rebuilding Together Muscatine County participated
in its eighth year of National Rebuilding Together Day builds.
The day came on cool, sunny and beautiful.
The volunteers joined with almost two hundred affiliates nation wide,
and came ready to make a difference in the lives of complete strangers.
The only connection being that they are neighbors; other people living in the same town,
needing the same thing that Rebuilding Together Muscatine County wishes to provide –
“A safe and healthy home for every individual”.
They came because
“It just needs done”.
The day came not without surprises, both large and small,
but our House Captains and volunteers were up to the task!
Together, the homes of five Muscatine resident families were made
“dryer, safer, warmer” than they were when they came.
A great big Thank you goes out to all the fine volunteers who worked on these homes.
Thank you also to those who volunteered by;
Providing financing for us, feeding us, photographing us, showing up at our Trivia Night fundraiser, telling their friends and neighbors about us.
Your RTMC Board Thanks You!
None of what Rebuilding Together Muscatine County does, could be done without you!
