Facts About RenewSA

​

Since 1995, RenewSA is a non-profit dedicated to the repair and rehabilitation

of homes of people in need, seniors, and those with disabilities.

We give special consideration to military veterans and their families.

(Formerly Rebuilding Together San Antonio from 2008 - 2023)

(Formerly Christmas In April from 1994-2008)

​

The goal of RenewSA is to help ensure that our neighbors in need, seniors, and those with disabilities continue to live in a warm and safe atmosphere.

​

RenewSA does general repairs for the homeowners so that they

can continue to live in a safe and secure environment.

​

Anyone sixteen and older can be a RenewSA volunteer.

 

RenewSA is paid for by in-kind and financial donations from local businesses,

foundations, corporations, associations, and the City of San Antonio.

​

RenewSA has rehabilitated over 1,000 homes with over

13,500 volunteers donating over 44,000 hours of service.

​

RenewSA has completed over $7,000,000.00

worth of renovations since the start of the program in 1994.

​

On our annual workdays, numerous homes are repaired as well as community centers and

non-profit facilities in San Antonio with 400 volunteers donating their time and talents.

Who Volunteers

Anyone over the age of sixteen can volunteer!

Business executives, students, secretaries, doctors, lawyers, real estate professionals, police

officers, homemakers, politicians, bankers, and journalists all pitch in to help

build a better community! Skilled tradespeople are always in demand.

We draw thousands of carpenters, plumbers, electricians,

roofers, and people with other skills

donating their time each year.

​

​

What We Do

​

One day each year, we gather volunteers from all walks of life, ages and ethnic backgrounds to join forces.

Armed with truckloads of materials these volunteers paint, repair and renovate homes and shelters.

The goal of RenewSA is to encourage volunteering at the local level and

to stimulate increased local activity to aid the low-income, elderly and

disabled homeowner.  Since 1994 over 1,000 homes have received free home repairs

with the help of almost 13,500 community volunteers.

​

​

​

​

Who We Help

Low-income, disabled or elderly people who cannot maintain their homes are eligible for our services.

Additionally, community shelters are also eligible.  All work is performed free of charge.

The homeowners, if they are able, work with volunteers in the spirit of neighbor helping neighbor.

There are five million elderly, low-income homeowners in America.

The majority are women and more than one-third live alone.

Some spend over 40% of their income on housing expenditures, 22% are defined as “housing poor”.

The RenewSA volunteers fill a desperate need in our community.
