HOUSTON, TEXAS (April 17, 2008) A pair of Houston Texans players will volunteer their time on Friday to help Reliant Energy and Rebuilding Together Houston (RTH) refurbish homes in the Denver Harbor neighborhood of Houston.

G Chester Pitts and LS Bryan Pittman will join a team of Reliant Energy employees as part of the company’s Weekend Home Repair Project will make repairs to six low-income homes in the Denver Harbor neighborhood just east of downtown.

Some of the scheduled improvements include: siding; painting; replacing windows and/or doors; tearing down and rebuilding a carport; and rebuilding of an external water heater enclosure.

Reliant Energy and RTH partner each spring and fall to make repairs to low-income homes of Reliant Energy customers.
