SBP is working here in Columbia to rebuild homes impacted by the October 2015 flooding. We are looking for volunteers to work on our sites to help get these families home faster. The work may include hanging insulation or drywall, mudding/spackling, sanding, texturing, priming, painting, laying floors, clearing yard debris, and/or hanging trim, mucking and gutting, doors, and baseboard.
There is no experience necessary!
SBP is committed to shortening the time between disaster and full recovery. To help, please consider volunteering with us and help us rebuild homes and lives!

Mission Statement
SBP's mission is to shorten the time between disaster and full recovery by ensuring that disaster-impacted citizens and communities recover in a prompt, efficient and predictable manner.
Description
SBP was founded in March 2006 by Zack Rosenburg and Liz McCartney after the couple, who originally lived in Washington, D.C. volunteered in St. Bernard Parish following Hurricane Katrina, in February 2006. Inspired by residents' collective spirit and fierce desire to rebuild their homes and communities, Zack and Liz launched SBP to help the community achieve its recovery goals.
With the tremendous support of donors, volunteers and corporate partners, SBP has grown from a three-person volunteer team into a nationally recognized leader in disaster resilience and recovery.
With its construction system enhanced and optimized through ongoing partnerships with Toyota and UPS, SBP rebuilds homes far below market rate, and carries out construction projects with much lower subsidies than traditional affordable housing models.
Since 2006, SBP has rebuilt homes for over 950 families with the help of more than 100,000 volunteers in New Orleans, LA; Joplin, MO; Staten Island, NY; Rockaway, NY; Monmouth/Ocean Counties, NJ; San Marcos, TX, and most recently Columbia, SC.
