Video: Hemmis on Home Improvement

Paige Hemmis, is a familiar face on construction site, as she's a skilled carpenter, designer and home builder. Now, Paige is picking up her hammer again to join in the National Heroes at Home program, which responds to the urgent need to help military families. The program provides renovations to the homes of active soldiers and American vets who are unable to repair their own homes, due to injuries resulting from service or income challenges.  

Heroes at Home is a joint effort between Sears Holdings and Rebuilding Together, the nation's leading non-profit working to preserve affordable home ownership by providing free home rehabilitation. The mission of Heroes at Home is to ensure that military families are living in safe, warm and comfortable homes - a dream come true for many veterans.  

The Heroes at Home program was established in 2007 to provide support to military service members, veterans and their families through joint efforts with various non-profit organizations. Since then, Heroes at Home has raised more than $21 million, and supported the extensive rehabilitation of 505 homes for our nation's deserving military families. The Heroes at Home program was honored in March of this year, with The Peter Glen Award, given annually to a company who gives back to their community in a unique and impactful way.
