Free Home Repairs For Two Dozen South Florida Homes

Rebuilding Together, a national nonprofit organization that makes free repairs to seniors' homes, coordinated home repairs for two dozen families in need through their Broward County and Miami-Dade County chapters last week. These chapters were among 240 chapters nationwide that revamped the homes of the elderly, disabled and families with children -- the organization's principal beneficiaries. Lowe's home improvement store participated in the South Florida effort. For more, see:
