| RTP's participation in “Mitzvah Mania” in October not only helped 11 homeowners and a community center in South Philadelphia, but also introduced new vocabulary. Translated into English, the phrase “banu livnot ulelibanot” means “to build and be built” and describes the RTP experience for so many volunteers and homeowners. Read about our recent projects in the fall newsletter available in print or on-line. |
“The most rewarding part of this project was not the fact that we helped fix up a house, but that we gave a struggling family hope and a renewed belief in the people in our community. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity.” This quote from Joe Schneider, House Captain of the ConocoPhillips volunteer team may be true, but belies the tremendous work that he and his co-workers and their families did to transform the Littles' house from top to bottom.

The joy of giving is the reward for acknowledging a need and doing something about it. Imagine a world where people take time, a day or weekend, to help a low-income homeowner live in warmth, safety, and independence. That world is RTP, and your gift will put a volunteer to work. Every $1 given becomes $5 worth of home repair services through volunteer efforts. Find out more about giving to RTP. |
