On Saturday, April 26, nearly 50 volunteers with the Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS® (GCAAR) helped two local homeowners make their homes safer and more comfortable. For the fourth straight year, GCAAR Cares, the community service foundation of the association, worked with Rebuilding Together of Montgomery and Washington, DC to sponsor and work on a house in each jurisdiction. Volunteers performed essential home maintenance tasks at each house, including cleaning, painting, adding a railing to one of the homes' front porch steps, fixing numerous electrical problems, and repairing drywall and vinyl floor.
