A team of local volunteers is working to improve South Bend neighborhoods, one home at a time.

Rebuilding Together is a partnership of volunteers from government, businesses, and non-profits in St. Joe County.

Every year they select several homes with low-income owners and do construction and repairs completely free of charge.

This year, one South Bend woman is getting her roof, garage, air conditioning, heating, and water heater fixed up.

“Those are major appliances, and it's great. And it's a great program and I'm so thankful that South Bend has it,” says home repair recipient Vicki Boules.

“I really believe that this is a major reflection on the community and I hope as many people as possible, if you care about the city, if you care about neighborhoods and care about our neighbors, decide to get involved and be a part of this,” says South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
