HTS Texas Rebuilds Together

Rebuilding Together is a leading national nonprofit that transforms the lives of low-income homeowners by improving the safety and health of their homes and revitalizing communities. Rebuilding Together’s local affiliates and nearly 100,000 volunteers complete about 10,000 rebuild projects nationwide each year. They have programs in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, which makes it the perfect opportunity for us to get involved.

Early November, a group from our Austin and Round Rock offices had the pleasure of volunteering with a team from Home Depot and Rebuilding Together to help the families of two low-income elderly homeowners in East Austin and Leander.

During October, a team from our Houston office spent two weekends working to improve a home in Independence Heights as a part of Rebuilding Together Houston’s partnership with NFL to revitalize Super Bowl cities; the Super Impact 17 campaign Kickoff to Rebuild Event.

What did we learn? We all struggle to maintain a solid work life balance and don’t usually have a lot of extra time to give back. Still, most of us will jump at an opportunity to give back because it initially feels good to do good. But philanthropy is about more than just that “good feeling.” It’s an opportunity to make an impact on someone else’s life while building relationships with co-workers, challenging yourself, and learning new skills. We at HTS and DXS  plan to make supporting local programs like Rebuild Together a permanent part of our culture.
