A Conversation with Jim Powell, Home Works of America

On December 3, more than half a dozen community partners announced a new program to begin the flood recovery rebuild in the wake of record-breaking rainfall that devastated area homes in October.

The project, ReBuild Together, is jointly hosted by Home Works of America and St. Bernard Project, in partnership with United Way of the Midlands, Michael J. Mungo Foundation, BlueCross and BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation, Building Industry Association of Central South Carolina, Sisters of Charity Foundation, AARP South Carolina, SC Cooperatives Care Foundation of the Electric Cooperatives of SC, Allied Air, Rotary International, and Habitat for Humanity.

At the center of this story is a non-profit organization, Home Works, that is stretching beyond its historical mission in order more expansively serve those in need.

The “rebuild” will take place in the Midlands  area December 28-30.
