In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, 62 AmeriCorps members serving with Rebuilding Together came together from 20 different states to perform critical home repair services for veteran and senior citizen homeowners in-need. These members provided a full week of service to the Carverdale-Edwards-South Creston Hills area in Oklahoma City. This is why one member decided to get involved with Rebuilding Together and AmeriCorps.
