1. About CIO
Over the past 30 years, Christmas in October’s (CIO) volunteers have rehabilitated more than 7500 homes and properties in the Kansas City area. CIO volunteers tackle a variety of work when rehabilitating homes. It could be as simple as applying a fresh coat of paint to more labor- intensive work such as replacing a furnace or repairing a leaky roof. The work performed varies from house-to-house and focuses on repairs needed to help you live in warmth, safety and dignity. While most of the work is completed in October we are open year round to help. Our mission is to bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income, elderly, disabled, and Veteran homeowners.
