National Rebuilding Day

National Rebuilding Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to home remodeling. This area of construction is very important in today’s world. Many American homes were built before the 80s of the 20th century, so they need repairs. Without it their reliability is not high, which can eventually lead to the collapse or serious damage to the building. The holiday is celebrated on the last Saturday in April.

History

The history of National Rebuilding Day is devoid of details. However, it is known that the holiday was created in 1973 by a small group of enterprising people from the Midlands of Texas. They set themselves the goal of helping people in need who do not have the means to repair their own home, but the structure needs to be rebuilt.

At its core, the holiday is a volunteer movement that provides assistance to families in need. They buy their own materials and carry out construction work to rebuild. Money for all events is raised with the help of charitable foundations, various promotions and the like.
