SARATOGA SPRINGS – A local man was honored by the city this week for his generosity after donating a parcel of land in downtown Saratoga Springs to Habitat for Humanity. 

The parcel of land on West Circular Street was donated by Saratoga Springs United Methodist Church leader and member Willard Chamberlin and is located, literally, in his backyard. 

In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties, the construction of a new home on the land will benefit Brenda Meyre, a single mother of four children, according to the city proclamation, which designated April 18, 2023 as Willard Chamberlin Day.
