About Rebuilding Together Charles County
Repairing homes. Revitalizing communities. Rebuilding lives.
Rebuilding Together Charles County is a local nonprofit organization that brings volunteers, community partners, and resources together to help eligible homeowners live in safer and healthier homes.
Our Mission
We work in partnership with the Charles County community to repair and improve the homes of low-income homeowners, with a special focus on older adults and people with disabilities. Our goal is to help residents continue living with warmth, safety, independence, dignity, and comfort.
Our Story
Rebuilding Together Charles County began serving the community in 1990 and was formerly known as Christmas in April Charles County. The organization later became Rebuilding Together Charles County, continuing the same tradition of neighbors joining together to help neighbors in need.
Our local organization is part of the larger Rebuilding Together movement, which is dedicated to improving housing conditions and strengthening communities through volunteer home repair and rehabilitation.
What We Do
Depending on homeowner eligibility, project needs, available funding, volunteer skills, and the condition of the home, projects may include:
- Home safety repairs
- Accessibility improvements, including ramps, railings, and grab bars
- Minor plumbing, electrical, and carpentry repairs
- Roof, floor, door, window, step, and porch repairs
- Painting and weatherization
- Yard cleanup, trash removal, and general maintenance
- Other repairs that help residents remain safe and independent

How the Work Gets Done
Our projects are made possible through volunteer labor, donated materials, grants, sponsorships, financial contributions, and partnerships with local businesses, churches, civic groups, skilled tradespeople, and community organizations.
National Rebuilding Month and National Rebuilding Day provide important opportunities to bring the community together for hands-on service. Additional projects and activities may also take place throughout the year as resources allow.
Who We Serve
We serve eligible homeowners in Charles County, Maryland. Many of the residents we assist are older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, or families facing financial hardship who are unable to complete needed repairs on their own.
