Repairing homes, revitalizing communities, rebuilding lives.

About Us

Neighbors Helping Neighbors, One Home at a Time
We Love What We Do

At Rebuilding Together Saratoga County, we believe everyone deserves a warm, safe, and dry place to call home. Since 2003, we’ve been providing critical home repairs, accessibility modifications, and community revitalization projects—free of charge—for neighbors in need throughout Saratoga, Warren, Washington Counties.

Our organization was born from a simple question: “Is there a need for this kind of help in our own backyard?”

After volunteering on home repair trips across the country with their church youth group, Michelle Larkin, her husband Dan, and a group of Saratoga-area friends realized the need wasn’t far away—it was right here at home. In 2003, Michelle invited friends and family to an informational meeting at New England-Presbyterian Church in Saratoga Springs. Thirty-five people showed up and all thirty-five committed to the mission of supporting homeowners in need in Saratoga County. That night, Rebuilding Together Saratoga County was born.

As an affiliate of the national Rebuilding Together organization, our mission is simple but powerful: repair homes, revitalize communities, and rebuild lives.

Together, We Are Rebuilding Futures

Every home repaired, every life impacted, and every hour volunteered is made possible by a caring community. We invite you to join us—because when neighbors come together, incredible things happen.

Our Story

What We Do


When low-homeowners cannot afford critical home repairs, Rebuilding Together Saratoga County can provide assistance.

We coordinate the volunteers, contractors, tools, and materials necessary to make homes safer, warmer, and more accessible—at no cost to the homeowner.

Our work also includes revitalizing qualified nonprofit centers and community spaces and properties that serve vulnerable populations across our service area.

We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each household, focusing our efforts on the needs of older adults, individuals living with disabilities, veterans, and families with children.

Our Team

Rebuilding Together Saratoga County is led by a dedicated staff and a volunteer Board of Directors.
