Make an
impact today

Your support lays the foundation for hands-on workshops, skill-building, and the preservation of Alton’s historic homes.

Why give?

  • Possibilities

    Your gift helps turn neglected properties into places of possibility, where care and craftsmanship bring new life to old spaces.

  • Action

    Your support helps bridge the gap between intention and action — turning appreciation for old homes into the hands-on work needed to save them.

  • Stories

    Old homes have stories worth saving — and your support helps us keep those stories alive.

  • Resources

    Our workshops give people the tools, skills, and confidence to tackle repairs the right way, one project at a time.

  • Community

    When we restore a house, we’re not just fixing what’s broken — we’re showing what care, craftsmanship, and community can accomplish together.

  • Renewal

    When we invest in Alton’s past, we strengthen its future. Renewal starts right here, with all of us.

Why Your Support Matters

At Riverbend Renewal, we believe old homes have stories worth telling — and saving them keeps the spirit of Alton alive. Each time a window is repaired, a porch is rebuilt, or a detail is brought back to life, we’re preserving the craftsmanship and character that make our community unique.

Your support helps us do more than restore buildings — it helps us share knowledge and build confidence. With your help, we’re creating workshops that give people the tools, know-how, and encouragement to care for their own historic homes.

When you give or become a member, you’re helping bring new life to old places — and renewing the pride that comes from taking care of what’s ours. Together, we can keep Alton’s history standing strong for generations to come.
