2024 Mid-Year Impact: A Look at What We’ve Accomplished So Far

As we move through the year, we’re proud to reflect on the work Rebuilding Together Saratoga County has already accomplished thanks to the support of our dedicated volunteers, partners, and donors.


From January 1 through August 1, 2024, we’ve made significant strides in our mission to ensure that everyone has a safe and healthy home:

  • 116 Home Repair Projects – From critical roof repairs to accessibility upgrades, our team tackled urgent issues to help keep families safe, warm, and dry.
  • 31 Handyman Visits – Our volunteers stepped in to lend a hand with smaller projects—often the kinds of fixes that make a big difference in day-to-day comfort and safety.
  • 107 Health and Safety Checks – Each eligible homeowner received a safety check and home safety kit—complete with essentials like smoke detectors, night lights, and more.
  • 144 Total Homeowners Served – That’s 144 families impacted by your generosity—through repairs, services, and connection.

We’re grateful for the continued support that allows us to do this work—and we’re not done yet!

Weekday-Warriors

First Weekday Warrior Project of the Season

Thank you to our Weekday Warrior Crew for kicking off the summer of projects.


Our Weekday Warrior crew is a group of retired individuals who need “sawdust therapy”, a termed coined by the group, where twice a month they lend their carpentry knowledge and skills to build step and landings, ramps and other small construction projects.

This year we started with our Friends at Camp Stomping Ground with a fence landing area to keep a safe distance to the entrance of the lake. Check out these incredible before and after photos.

We are grateful to have these members help out with our community partner by providing safety measures.

If you’re interested in becoming a weekday warrior, email Clarice at clarice@rtsaratoga.org for more information.
