Is Rebuilding Together affiliated with a particular church or religion?
No. The program embraces all people: all faiths, walks of life, racial and ethnic groups, ages, sexes, and sexual orientations. Rebuilding Together was formerly called Christmas in April, and the name officially changed to Rebuilding Together in 2001. The spirit of the program is that of giving and sharing, hence the original title “Christmas.” The name was conferred by a Midland, Texas homeowner who, in expressing her appreciation for the work done at her house, described it as “Christmas in April!” The concept of community involvement to help one another is a strong part of the organizations culture; hence the new name Rebuilding Together.
