The Red Oak Opportunity Foundation (ROOF) recently donated over $100,000 to East Bay nonprofits. In this series of blog posts we profile the recipients of those donations. Learn more and donate to help the community here.
Founded in 1988, the mission of Rebuilding Together Oakland/East Bay is to ensure that seniors, veterans, and low-income households have safe and healthy homes. They also help maintain and renovate the facilities of nonprofit organizations that serve low-income and under-resourced East Bay communities.

Rebuilding Together is composed of a passionate team of volunteers and professionals, working together to provide free repairs and renovations. This includes anything from fixing a leaky faucet to substantial construction projects like building a wheelchair ramp. On top of their repair services, Rebuilding Together provides energy-efficient improvements like insulation, weather-stripping, dual-pane windows and door upgrades. Importantly, they also work to ensure that the homes are safe, performing general safety assessments and installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They provide financial education and counseling to help homeowners manage their costs and make informed decisions about home maintenance and improvements.
If you’re looking to get involved in helping the community, volunteers of all ages and skill levels are welcome and no construction experience is necessary. They can use support with a variety of tasks, including home repair, painting, landscaping, disaster recovery services and more.
ROOF is proud to support this effective organization, which demonstrates a considerable social return on investment.
