Rebuilding Together Greater Milwaukee has posted a video of its massive, two-day repair project on 30 homes in Milwaukee’s Lindsay Heights neighborhood that took place in May.

Three nonprofits — Walnut Way Conservation Corp., the Social Development Commission and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin — partnered with RTGM to put on the event, which drew around 600 volunteers.

The event, called Block Build MKE 2016, cost $150,000 and was an extension of Rebuilding Together Greater Milwaukee’s year-round home repair program.
