Dear Friends of the Timothy D. Letter Foundation,

The 2025 TDL Memorial Foundation Volunteer Day!

We're excited to participate once again in [Re]Builder Month, and we're glad you're a big part of that impact! 

About [Re]Builder Month

Community revitalization is a core pillar of Rebuilding Together New Orleans' work. No project better exemplifies those efforts than [Re]Builder Month. That community effort, known initially as Christmas in October (and Christmas in April nationally), engages hundreds of volunteers in a "blitz" build designed to provide eight to ten families with critical safe and healthy repairs over just a few weekends. No community understands nor exudes the community-based "it takes a village" better than New Orleans. Neighbors helping neighbors, strangers helping strangers; it's that mindset that continues to help New Orleans become a more resilient, equitable community. Rebuilding Together New Orleans listens to the communities it works with to provide assistance that addresses the underlying needs of a neighborhood. Past projects also include murals, a tool library, a community makerspace, a community garden, a women's shelter, parks, and playgrounds.
