Joe Valley Building Trades and Rebuilding Together
The annual 2 weekend event known as “Rebuilding Together” hit South Bend in a big way earlier this month. The program basically tries to identify homes that are in need of repair and are owned by elderly, handicapped or limited income families or individuals.If the homes/residents qualify as homes needing repair, and the work generally beyond the reach of the residents for financial or other reasons, then the St. Joe Valley Building trades try to help. Union Construction and this program has remained committed to consistently supporting the needy families in the local community that cant possibly get this work done on their own. Not only improving the appearance of these homes, more often than not these skilled tradesmen and women make the homes safer and generally more liveable.
