Rebuilding Together Charles County

We’re proud of the continued partnership between Lowe’s and Rebuilding Together through the Round Up for Charity program. When you shop in-store, you can choose to round your total up to the nearest dollar at checkout—and that small extra amount helps support Rebuilding Together’s mission of keeping neighbors safe in their homes and strengthening communities.

Those rounded-up donations help fuel home repair work and community revitalization efforts across the country—and they help power local affiliates like Rebuilding Together Charles County as we work to make homes safer, healthier, and more livable for the people who need it most.

Next time you’re at Lowe’s, consider rounding up. A little change can do a whole lot of good.

MLK Day is a National Day of Service—a reminder that strengthening our community starts with serving our neighbors.

Today we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy by recommitting to the work that matters: helping neighbors live safely at home and building stronger communities, one project at a time.

Service doesn’t have to be big to be powerful.
A helping hand. A kind act. A commitment to community.

Let’s honor Dr. King the best way we can—by showing up for one another.

✨ Day 3 at Summit 2025: Stronger Together! ✨

We’re closing out an inspiring Summit with so many powerful voices. Shareese Floyd from Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte reminded us that the homes we repair hold more than walls and windows — they hold histories, resilience, and hope. Tara Cruise, Director of Partnership Development, shared strategies to strengthen our funding pitches and expand outreach in our communities. And from the Community Housing Improvement Program, Seana O’Shaughnessy, President/CEO, and Chris Perry, Chief Development Officer, highlighted Rebuilding Together’s role in disaster recovery.

We also gained valuable insight from Becky Carter, Senior Director of Network Advancement, and Elizabeth Fries, Director of Network Advancement, who spoke about strengthening affiliate operations. They emphasized how formalizing policies and procedures improves decision-making, reduces risks, and creates consistent systems that set affiliates up for long-term success. Their practical guidance on building strong internal controls and decision-making frameworks will help us ensure Rebuilding Together Charles County remains sustainable and impactful.

Our President, Alvin Stewart, and our Treasurer, Sandie Branan, are proud to have represented Rebuilding Together Charles County during three days of learning, sharing, and connecting with affiliates across the country.

✨ As we conclude our experience at the Rebuilding Together 2025 Summit, we’re excited to bring back what we’ve learned to strengthen Rebuilding Together Charles County and continue our mission of repairing homes, revitalizing communities, and rebuilding lives right here at home.

✨ Day 2 at Summit 2025: Stronger Together! ✨

Today was filled with inspiration and new perspectives!

We began with an uplifting Opening Keynote from Erin Dawkins, Principal of EJD Consulting. With over 25 years of experience across the corporate and non-profit sectors, Erin shared how collaboration, cultural relevance, and purposeful storytelling can drive lasting impact for diverse communities.

We also heard from Heath Slawner, who shared insights from The Infinite Game. He reminded us that unlike sports with clear winners, business and life have no end point — success comes from adopting an infinite mindset, outlasting challenges, and creating lasting impact.

Our President, Alvin Stewart, and our Treasurer, Sandie Branan, continue to represent Rebuilding Together Charles County with pride as we learn, share, and build stronger connections with affiliates from across the country. 💙

✨ Why this matters for Charles County ✨

The lessons from today give us new tools to bring home. Erin’s focus on collaboration and purposeful storytelling helps us better connect with local partners and share the real impact of our work in Charles County. Heath’s reminder to think with an infinite mindset reinforces our commitment to building lasting change, strengthening families, and ensuring our community thrives for years to come.
