Season’s Greetings From
Rebuilding Together
By
Tim Clarke
While we wait for the first snow of the season to spread across the mountains, we look forward to seeing family and friends, and the consuming of good foods followed by the obligatory belt loosening that comes with it. We find joy in giving gifts to family and friends. Of course, we enrich our humanity by caring for others and sharing our good fortune with those less fortunate so they may share in the joy of a better life.
Sometimes it feels as if our country is in a tug of war with itself, and we forget about the spreading of love and joy to all in a season built on it. By the simple act of helping our less fortunate neighbors who cannot afford to make simple repairs to their homes we pass out relief to the worried and most vulnerable neighbors and help renew hope for them. In a nutshell, this is the business of Rebuilding Together Mountain Communities. We do this work not for praise or accolades but out of love for our mountain communities and the people who live in them. We receive no federal or state government assistance. We raise money in the community and county in which we live and with the generosity of businesses who operate in the Inland Empire, as well as churches, non-profits and most importantly you, the residents of this fantastic series of communities dotting this mountain.
Year after year the areas that we serve have kept us alive when other chapters in larger cities fall and go under during hard times. So, we are blessed with neighbors who have proven how much they care for others, proving it by writing checks and volunteering to help on the last Saturday in April caring for these communities we love.

FALL IS RUSTLING IN by TIM CLARKE
Fall is upon us with the golden colors gathering at our feet but, to some it means worry that they won’t be able to clean it all up. Many of our low-income homeowners dread the coming of the fall and winter seasons because of the extra expense of yard clean-up or snow removal, and many […]
A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED By Tim Clarke
31 years ago, Rebuilding Together Mountain Communities had its first Rebuilding Day and one of the recipients was Carolyn King. She would be a recipient two more times before she passed away in June. Carolyn had lived a simple life in a very modest home in Valley of Enchantment. The home had started life as […]
GOOD NEIGHBOR OF REBUILDING TOGETHER BY TIM CLARKE
In 2018, a new bank came to the mountains as a result of the acquisition of The First Mountain Bank by First Foundation Bank, founded in 2007. For the purpose of this article, we are referring to the Running Springs branch, which became good neighbors in no time at all. Like the old TV show […]
