Rebuild Resources is a non-profit enterprise helping recovering men and women rebuild their lives through the most powerful social program of all: A job.

Founded in 1984 by a recovering alcoholic, we own and operate businesses in St. Paul, Minnesota. We provide meaningful, transitional employment for men and women who want to become sober, self-sufficient and of service.

At Rebuild, the alcoholic or addict finds a recovery-laden, Twelve-Step environment and is seen with compassion, but not illusion. We demand productivity, accountability and forward motion. Student-employees stay long enough to stabilize, build a job history and work reference, gain tangible skills, and build their capacity to be valuable to an employer. Then we help them land a permanent job, and make room for the next candidate.

Our businesses also serve as the economic engines that sustain our work. We aim for self-sufficiency by funding eighty percent of our budget from business revenues, and twenty percent from the generosity of individuals, foundations, businesses, churches, and service organizations. No government funding is currently sought or received.

Our work works. We've graduated more than nine hundred men and women, with a measured success rate of sixty-eight percent and a social return of nearly half a million dollars per successful graduate.

With your support - as customer, business partner, mentor or donor - we continue to deliver dramatic human and social results.
