Each year, the Chesterton Fire Department supports Rebuilding Together – Duneland (RTD) in the goal of keeping the Duneland community warm, safe, and dry in their homes. For this year’s upcoming April 29th work day, the Chesterton Fire Department is sponsoring one of the house projects with a monetary donation as well as supplying a team of volunteers to help with the work. Additionally, the fire department will once again be providing and installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to any project homes that need them.
RTD has 10 homes and 5 community projects on the schedule for its 20th anniversary work day, which will be held on April 29th, 2017. If you want to support RTD but missed the volunteer registration deadline, donation checks can be mailed to Rebuilding Together - Duneland, P.O. Box 644, Chesterton, IN 46304 or made through PayPal by selecting the donations tab at www.rtduneland.org.
