 SARATOGA SPRINGS - Homeless people who plan on visiting the Salvation Army on Woodlawn Avenue this week for their daily breakfast are about to see a surprise.
A team of about two dozen volunteers on Saturday renovated the center's multi-use room, replacing water-damaged acoustical tiles with newer ones and painting the off-white walls a so Area volunteers raise spirits
Volunteer organization Rebuilding Together Saratoga County put together the effort as part of the national Make a Difference Day campaign.
"It's not about rebuilding, it's about the people," said Ballston Spa resident Kathy Johnson, referring to a number of volunteer efforts she participated in recently. "These people who come in, they need things. Having a cheery spot to come to is going to help their day." The revamped room is used not only for the Salvation Army's Breakfast Program, but also for worship services, tutoring and the farmers' market during the winter.

Dottie Rucinski
 In the spring of 2004 Dottie Travis (now Dottie Ruckinski)) was given a newspaper article about a new non-profit organization looking for volunteers to help on construction projects. Dottie was new to the area and was looking to make new friends. After all, she would say, volunteers are always the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
Dottie called Michelle Larkin and offered her services. Michelle says that day was one of her lucky days – Dottie not only turned out to be a good friend but was skilled in all phases of construction and was willing to do whatever needed to be done. That spring she worked on all five of the worksites Rebuilding Together was involved with. Not only is she skilled, she has a heart of gold and has a real soft spot for elderly folks needing assistance in their homes. |
