On
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009, a half dozen volunteers spent the day
at the home of an elderly army veteran, making repairs and improving safety, as
part of Rebuilding Together Dutchess' first “Holiday Rebuilding Day."
The project was funded by Sear's "Heroes at Home" program, which
provides support to military service people, veterans, and their families
through joint efforts with various nonprofit organizations.
The volunteers replaced a broken storm door, added grab bars in the bathroom,
installed a second stair railing, replaced and rewired dangerous outlets and replaced
lightbulbs with more efficient bulbs.
