La Lumiere Students Renovate Home with Rebuilding Together

Rebuilding-Together-2013La Lumiere students worked alongside construction workers, electricians and wood craftsmen to renovate a home in Chesterton on Saturday, April 27, National Rebuilding Day. Community service is an integral part of the La Lumiere students’ experience.

National Rebuilding Day is the annual signature event of Rebuilding Together. Held on the last Saturday in April, National Rebuilding Day is the day when affiliates from all parts of the country plan projects to celebrate the organization’s mission and to bring national attention to the plight of America’s low-income homeowners and the communities in which they live. National Rebuilding Day is rooted at the foundation of Rebuilding Together as part of its 20-year history.
