Meet Eddie Hitti

Eddie joined our Board of Directors in 2014, and has been around through many projects and fundraisers!

Here is a quick chat about why he is involved with Rebuilding Together Saratoga County.

What is your connection to Rebuilding Together Saratoga and why did you join the Board?  

I joined RTSC back in 2014 as a board member after being sent to the annual dinner by my boss at the time- I immediately was taken the mission and purpose of the organization and knew I had to be a part of it in whatever way I could be! I had the pleasure of serving as Board President in my tenure.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor or favorite dessert? 

Favorite ice cream flavor is Pistachio, but dessertwise- I am a sucker for donuts.

We are glad to have Eddie on our Board!

Meet Terry Hubbard of Peak Environmental.

Terry joined our Board of Directors in 2025 and has been a wonderful addition to the Board.

Here is a quick chat about why he is involved with Rebuilding Together Saratoga County.

What is your connection to Rebuilding Together Saratoga and why did you join the Board?  

In 2018, I was asked by Paul Lambert, a past president, to help out a family in Saratoga who had 2 young boys in wheel chairs and needed a new walkway from there wheelchair ramp to the driveway.  In 2020, I was the musical entertainment for a RTSC fundraising event at the Saratoga Winery.  Since then my company Peak Environmental has been a donor and I also volunteer every year to be a greeter for the Showcase of Homes.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor or favorite dessert? 

Stewarts Carmel Cone Crunch.  It only comes in a pint, I am lobbying them now to make it in the half gallon!

We are glad to have Terry on our Board!

Meet Stephanie Lamphere of Clean Green Hauling & Removal.

Stephanie joined our Board of Directors in 2025 and has been a wonderful addition to the Board.

Here is a quick chat about why she is involved with Rebuilding Together Saratoga County.

I’d been shopping at the ReShop for the Good store in Ballston Spa for years without realizing what their proceeds actually support. When my husband and I started our junk removal business, Clean Green Hauling & Removal, in 2022, we began donating furniture and other household items to the ReShop, and I finally connected the dots. I loved helping the mission indirectly by providing products to the shop, and I also loved the work RTSC was doing in the community. As our business grew, we became more involved with the shop, and in 2024, we were thrilled to be honored with RTSC’s Community Partner award. That same year, I began the Saratoga County Chamber’s Leadership Saratoga program, which prepares participants to be productive board members and community leaders, and helps identify their interests and hone their strengths. For me, joining the RTSC board was a natural fit, and I’m very excited to put my skills and passions to use on the organization’s behalf. 

My favorite ice cream flavor is Stewart’s Shops Adirondack Bear Paw, which sadly has been discontinued in the half-gallon size. But they still carry it in pint sizes, so I regularly embark on my own personal scavenger hunt to find it at Stewart’s Shops throughout the area!
