October Volunteer of the Month – photographer extraordinaire, Michele Rider
Although Michele jokes that as long as there’s tasty food and cold beers on hand, she’ll be there, I know that the work we do and the impact we have is a huge motivator for her to give so much of her time. I had a chance to talk to Michele Rider, our October Volunteer of the Month, about why she volunteers and here’s what she said:
Tour the Dump with RTSF!
As many of our Captains know, our local trash company (which, by the way, is 100% employee owned) Recology is a HUGE supporter of our Rebuilding Day work. And we love them for that – every April, they donate dumpsters to our projects and also pick up ALL the trash (that our volunteers seperate into piles) the Monday following Rebuilding Day. That’s huge folks – easily a donation worth $15-20,ooo and it is no exaggeration to say that we could not do the great work we do without them. *round of applause*

So on that note – we thought it would be fun to schedule a Tour of the Dump! Read More »

Board members Dian and Scott
For the past 7 years, Scott Torgan has served on the Board of Directors for Rebuilding Together San Francisco. Recently, we asked one of our volunteers to interview Scott about how and why he became involved with RTSF, as Scott will be terming off the board this year. Scott has been a tremendous RTSF supporter & very active board member and will be sorely missed, but here’s a little bit about why he got involved with RTSF. Read More »

Meet Connie: longtime OMI resident & volunteer
With our neighborhood focus being the OMI district this year (more here), I thought a personal perspective of this diverse ‘hood might be interesting to all of you that haven’t yet visited this area. Meet Connie, one of our house Construction Captains (now in her 6th year!) and our favorite event volunteer bartender! I had asked her a few questions about her neighborhood and here’s what she had to say… Read More »
