Rebuilding Day
Volunteers from Los Gatos Morning Rotary did yard work and other home maintenance projects at a house on Shadle Avenue in Campbell during National Rebuilding Day Saturday, April 29. Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley coordinated more than 450 volunteers to perform home maintenance and repairs at 20 project sites across Santa Clara County.
Rebuilding Together is looking for volunteers for its Fall Rebuilding Day in October. Email Alaina at Alaina@rtsv.org.
