Volunteer's Comments

"Volunteering with Rebuilding Together is an excellent way to learn new skills, meet great people and gain a feeling of accomplishment while giving something back to others. It's also gratifying to see local businesses like Lowe's getting involved in the community to help needy families." - Steve, June 2011

 

"My first experience as a Site Coordinator for Rebuilding Together Saratoga was rewarding, and also much easier than I had expected due to the extensive organization of the project and the desire and energy of the volunteers. The Rebuilding staff has thought of everything needed to make the work day flow smoothly, and executed seamlessly. I was thrilled with the commitment and eagerness of the volunteers to get started and work hard to finish. And it was wonderful to see the homeowner participate in the work, and show such appreciation for the help provided by Rebuilding. Please stay in touch." - Barb, June 2011

 Owen Yonkin, son of Rachel Alderman and Matt Yonkin

 Last year Owen Yonkin had a birthday party and instead of birthday gifts from his friends, he requested money in order to donate to Rebuilding Together Saratoga. We gave him a "Golden Hammer" and asked him to visit a work site in the spring. He visited his Dad in the spring who was volunteering on a worksite in Gansevoort. Once again, this generous little boy decided to help Rebuilding Together Saratoga. Instead of birthday presents, Owen requested that the children buy some tools or supplies, which he would then donate to us. Owen is an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Thank you Owen!

2011 Volunteer of the Year!

 

Sherie Grinter

 

2011_sherie_grinter

 

Sherie has been volunteering with RTSC for the past 8 years. Her primary role is Volunteer Coordinator but always helps in whatever capacity is needed, both on workdays as well as in the office. As the Volunteer Coordinator, she works with the House Captain on the project days. This includes sign in/out, safety checks/gear, lunch/water, running to the hardware store - whatever needs to be done all in the effort to make the workday a positive experience for our volunteers. Sherie is from Corinth and also takes care of a menagerie of animals she has rescued which includes reptiles, birds and the four legged kind. Sherie can be described as a true humanitarian. When she is not caring for her animals, she will also volunteer for other agencies and is the first to reach out during times of natural disaster as recently happened with Irene. We are grateful for Sherie's continued support and involvement and consider her a friend with a very big heart. Thank You and Congratulations Sherie!
