MALTA — Malta Veteran Appreciation Program has dedicated and donated their second house to a deserving local veteran.
On Sunday, Sept. 12, a ceremony and ribbon cutting was held to welcome a local veteran and his family to their new home in Malta Gardens Park. The home, donated by the Solomon Organization, is the second Homes to Heroes project completed by the Malta Veteran Appreciation Program.
The 3 bedroom, 2 full-bath home was fully gutted and remodeled. It now features a modern farmhouse kitchen, ample closet/storage space, plenty of natural lighting from brand-new windows, and even a small deck off the living room space.
This is the second Homes for Heroes project completed by Malta Veteran Appreciation Program. The first was a tiny home built in the same park and donated two years ago. Local contractors, trade unions, and volunteers donate their labor and materials. You can watch a video of the full remodel process here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ey16v9Wdc4&feature=youtu.be.
“We do this to improve the lives of veterans and improve neighborhood,” said Renee Farley, Chairperson, Malta Veteran Appreciation Program. “We are hoping to create a better community and a better park.”
Farley also noted that three local students who volunteered their time have taken an interest in the trades and aspire to attend trade schools; even children as young as six years old were helping with the yard work.
“The military has served us, and now it’s our turn to serve them,” said Farley.”
When the remodel is close to being complete, the Program asks the community for the names of local veterans in need. The two requirements are that they live in Saratoga County and have an honorable DD214 discharge. An appropriate veteran (and family) is picked for the size of the house, but they keep a list of names for future houses.
The Malta Veteran Appreciation Program also provides other charitable support services to veterans in Saratoga County, such as helping them get medical transportation, home repairs, and buying groceries.
