Local business and community leaders
joined enthusiastic volunteers and grateful homeowners at the Rebuilding
Together Dutchess County (RTDC) community breakfast held Thursday, June 17 at Arbor
Ridge in Hopewell Junction.
Over a hundred
participants, including Dutchess County Executive William Steinhaus, Father Mic
Shriver of Church of the Resurrection, and Annie Nagy, the widow of a
well-decorated WWII veteran, shared their personal and professional stories
about how Rebuilding Together has impacted their lives.
“Almost 20 years ago my son and I strapped on tool belts
and worked on our first Rebuilding Together house project together,” Steinhaus
said. “Since then I’ve been privileged to support this wonderful organization
both as the County Executive and as a volunteer.”
Steinhaus said that Rebuilding Together Dutchess County
has helped hundreds of families live in greater safety and dignity in their
homes.
“Many of the program ‘s recipients are elderly widows who
want to stay in their homes but need a helping hand with repairs and
renovations,” Steinhaus added. “Rebuilding Together is there to provide that
support, preserving homes and families.”
