Rebuilding Together Alexandria's Energize Alexandria

Clients, sponsors, and volunteers are needed for Rebuilding Together Alexandria’s (RTA) Energize Alexandria, a volunteer event helping nearly 25 Alexandria vulnerable homeowners weatherize and make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes. 


HOW              


More than 100 volunteers will be helping make homes ready for the winter in a variety of ways, such as conducting energy audits; installing tank less hot water systems, energy efficient HVAC, windows, weather stripping, low flow aerators, outlet sealants, door sweeps, energy efficient appliances, and insulation; and planting trees. No experience is required. To volunteer or to ask for home repairs, visit www.RebuildingTogetherAlex.org or send an email to: kd@rebuildingtogetheralex.org.
