On the third day...

…we reflect on the three statements that continually drive us: our mission, vision, and values.

Mission
To bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes of low-income homeowners so that they may live in warmth, safety and independence.

Vision
A safe and healthy home for everyone.

Values
* We are committed to helping low-income people and communities and respect their integrity, strengths, and assets. We strengthen lives, homes, and communities.
* We work in partnership with neighborhoods, involving residents in all aspects of our work. We value collaboration with other groups who share similar goals.
* We believe in quality planning, delivery, and evaluation of our services.
* We believe in inclusiveness, and seek to promote a diversity that is reflective of our communities.
* We recognize the uniqueness of each affiliate and their community and respect local flexibility and creativity in decision-making and service delivery.
* Volunteers delivering free services on National Rebuilding Day is our core initiative and our common denominator, along with the cost-effective leveraging of donated materials, supplies and labor.
