Fifth Third Bank and Rebuilding Together will join forces on Friday, November 6, on home rebuild projects for low-income veteran homeowners in 17 cities across the country. Fifth Third Bank employees and community volunteers will help Rebuilding Together make critical repairs, accessibility modifications and energy-efficient upgrades at no cost to the veterans.

Employees from local Fifth Third Bank regions will join Rebuilding Together affiliates on rebuild projects in Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, Georgia, Illinois and Florida. This builds on a 2014 Fifth Third effort with Rebuilding Together in which the two organizations rehabbed homes in 14 Fifth Third Bank markets. The collaboration between the two organizations began in 2013 with six home rebuild sites.

“Our alliance with Rebuilding Together enables Fifth Third to give back and serve those who have served,” said Chad Borton, executive vice president and Head of the Consumer Bank, Fifth Third Bancorp. “It’s a privilege for us to help fund these projects and to roll up our sleeves and help improve their lives. Thank you to all of the veterans that are welcoming us into their homes and are giving us this great opportunity to say thank you for their service.”

“Together with Fifth Third Bank we are transforming the lives of low-income veteran homeowners by improving the safety and health of their homes,” said Sandra Henriquez, interim president and CEO, Rebuilding Together. “Fifth Third’s commitment to veterans is helping to revitalize the communities in which these homeowners live.”
