Wake Up with Rebuild 2024

Wake Up with Rebuild is a free awareness breakfast hosted annually by Rebuild Upstate, an 18-year-old nonprofit that has repaired more than 1,550 homes in Upstate, South Carolina. Guests will enjoy breakfast and an informative program hosted by Rebuild Upstate and a panel of community experts.

Ensuring our community has the resources it needs is like solving a puzzle. Home preservation is one piece of the puzzle facing the Upstate. At this year's Wake Up With Rebuild, we will highlight how our piece of the puzzle is interconnected with other community needs such as healthcare, aging in place, policy, community services, and education.

Rebuild Upstate, alongside key stakeholders, is committed to ensuring communities have the critical resources they need, like safe homes that people can afford.

The program will include a moderated panel of Anderson leaders. Panelists include:

• Luis Martinez, Vice President, Commercial Relationship Manager, SouthState Bank

• Jessica Pilgrim, RN, AnMed Health Rehabilitation Hospital

• Josh Hawkins, Director of Emergency Management, Anderson County Sheriff's Office

• Kathy Hodges, Attorney, Law Offices of Kathleen Hodges

After the program, you'll have a clear idea of the need for home repair programs in the Upstate and how you can help.

Doors open at 7:30am and our program will start at 8am. 

While this is a free event open to the public, sponsored table reservations and donations are welcomed and greatly appreciated! Feel free to contact us with questions about hosting a table. Breakfast will be provided.
