We are now in the process of starting a new home. We purchased land and will be starting the foundation and groundwork in the very near future. The plan is to get the walls and roof up, then set the windows and door in place before snow flies. We can work through the winter months to finish the inside. The home may be ready for occupancy in the summer / fall of 2026. The home will be a 3 bed, 2 bath, single story ranch. The home is located in Burke and in the Malone School District.
Keep checking back as we update the progress of the build. We will be looking for volunteers of all kinds as we get going. We will also be taking applications for the home from interested families. When the applications are available, we will post the notice here and on our website. Applications will not be taken over the phone or prior to the release date of the application.
We recently received two donations in honor of Mr. Robert Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs who recently passed away on July 6th, 2025, was a former teacher at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam. He volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in his hometown after his retirement, focusing mainly on fundraising and the annual walk-a-thon. In lieu of flowers the family requested donations be made in his honor, to North Country Habitat for Humanity. A special thank you to Mavis and David Kelley of Ames IA and Ms. Lisa M. Orabi of Wallingford Ct for their generous donation in his memory. RIP Mr. Gibbs and thank you for your volunteerism We appreciate all donations and volunteers. Without them, we could not so the things we do.
We would also like to thank Ms. Patty Estes for her generous monetary donation made in honor of her Uncle Ron Sibbitts. Patty stated that her Uncle Ron loved Habitat for Humanity and always wanted to do more, work harder and build more houses. Thank you, Patty Estes, because without volunteers like your uncle Ron Sibbitts we would not be able to provide affordable housing and help those in need.
Another Brush with Kindness in progress. The volunteers stepped up to help out a local, disabled resident who was in need of having the wheelchair ramp repaired. Chris Abbott, Jack Spinner, Peter Scott, Dave Gokey and Dan Bova removed the old decking and replaced several floor joists that had rotted over the years. The pressure treated joists were replaced and the new 5/4 pressure treated decking was installed. Some handrail and lattice had to be replaced as well. More pictures when the project is complete. Thanks to these volunteers for helping us help local residents that have safety issues.

We are in the process of planning our next new home. Due to issues that we have encountered with the parcel of property we had planned to build on and the cost of materials, we have the project on hold. We are looking for another location to build on and will update the website and Facebook as soon as we have a new plan in place.
