Tropical Storm Ernesto is battering Puerto Rico. Team Rubicon is there. Back in September 2017, Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico. In the wake of the devastation, Team Rubicon rebuilt over 500 roofs to the highest standards. This #investment was made possible by supporters like GAF and the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, along with a strong partnership with #FEMA, St Vincent dePaul, and contractors throughout the island. In a year, the team built over 500 hurricane rated roofs that keep families dry and protected from the storms year after year. Watch to see how we did it. As a “#for_impact” organization, TR is dedicated to expressing gratitude to those who invest in our mission. Unlike simply donating, investing signifies a long-term commitment where the funds continue to make a positive impact into the future. #INVESTMENT: Our volunteers keep enhancing their skills and abilities, returning each year to help those in need. We now have over 170,000. #INVESTMENT: Our services transform lives by reducing stress, maintaining value, facilitating a quicker return to normalcy, and building resilience for future challenges. Children rest safely in a rebuilt home. Families can concentrate on what matters when fallen trees are cleared. Homes do not become mold-infested when they are properly cleaned out.
