Community Service Opportunities that Change Lives

If you’re looking for meaningful volunteer work in Oklahoma City, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting impact.

At Rebuilding Together OKC, we connect people who want to give back with real opportunities to create safe homes for seniors across the metro. Our work depends on donors and volunteers who are ready to step in and make a difference.

As a nonprofit organization, our primary focus is on helping seniors safely stay in the homes they love through designated Rebuild Days and community service opportunities.


  • 72-year-old David has lived by himself since his wife died. Bravely battling cancer, David hasn’t been able to address the many repairs his home needed — a leaky roof, damaged ceiling, holes in walls from unfinished plumbing repairs, crumbling bathroom tile, damaged flooring, and peeling exterior paint. This spring we were able to complete these repairs. Now, David can focus on beating cancer instead of being in fear of living in an unsafe home.  
    Your support helps residents like David

  • We help people like Bettye, a 75-year-old retired nurse. Despite suffering from serious health conditions, Bettye helps care for her granddaughter, Chloe, every day. But her home became unsafe and needed serious repairs. During one of our Rebuilding Days, volunteers repaired multiple deteriorating doors, the kitchen countertop, and the kitchen faucet, in addition to repainting and repairing her home’s exterior. 
    Restore peace of mind
  • One of our safe homeowners is 78-year-old JM. Despite suffering from Parkinson’s, this gentleman makes a difference to his neighbors every day — from being their Spanish translator to helping prep for job interviews to sitting down with them to make sense of paperwork or bills. JM’s home was in dire need of repairs. During one of our Rebuilding Days, volunteers built a ramp, repaired windows, added missing shingles, installed a grab bar, and cleared debris from his property.
    Together, we can ease the burden for those who need it most!
  • After a diving accident, Michael became a quadriplegic. Michael is a dedicated father and homeowner, who has overcome many challenges with a limited income and limited mobility. Rebuilding Together OKC and volunteers helped repair his home after a plumbing incident and roof damage left his home with mold and flooring hazards. Michael often thanks RTOKC staff and volunteers for making his home warm, safe, and dry.

  • Patti, who uses a walker due to back issues, was living in a home environment with several potential tripping and safety hazards. The entry way to her front door was collapsing and the siding on her home was peeling off. Volunteers worked together to clean, repair, and modify her home to keep Patti living there safely and independently. Patti said that this is the best year of her life thanks to Rebuilding Together OKC.

Our Mission

Repairing homes, revitalizing communities, rebuilding lives.

At Rebuilding Together OKC, our mission is to help as many of our elderly neighbors as possible to live comfortably in their own homes. We offer free home repairs and modifications to low-income homeowners aged 55 and older to ensure they remain in their homes and age independently with dignity. 

By working together with volunteers, donors and caring members of the community, we transform homes and enhance the quality of life for qualifying seniors throughout the Oklahoma City metro. 

The Work We Do at Rebuilding Together OKC

When you volunteer with Rebuilding Together OKC, you get to directly impact the lives of our neighbors by helping repair their homes. Our work focuses on safety-based home repairs (not aesthetic kitchen remodels) and our volunteers play a key role in making these repairs possible!

Depending on experience, volunteers may help with:

  • Installing grab bars and handrails
  • Replacing uneven flooring
  • Building wheelchair ramps
  • Repairing siding
  • Helping with other minor repairs

And if you have skilled trades experience, your time and skills can go directly towards projects that require extra precision and on-the-job experience. We are always looking for people with home repair skills who want to donate their time to our cause.

Every time you volunteer, you’re helping a low-income senior stay in their home.

Making it Easy to Volunteer with Rebuilding Together OKC

As a nonprofit organization that focuses on home repairs, we’ve streamlined our systems (and volunteer duties) to ensure every project is safe, organized, and helpful for our community.

When you sign up to volunteer, you’ll be added to our network of individuals who are interested in helping out. From there, our team will reach out when the right projects align!

Because our work focuses on safety and home repairs for seniors, each Rebuild Day is planned in advance to ensure our volunteers are set up for success.

This allows us to create meaningful community service opportunities while ensuring our volunteers align with each home repair project.

Corporate & Group Volunteer Opportunities

  • Strengthen relationships within teams
  • Make a difference in your community in a hands-on way

  • See the direct impact of your time and effort
