Fred's Pantry

Fred’s Pantry was opened in response to the demand created by the great recession, we opened Fred’s Pantry to serve the community with healthy and nutritious food.  Until the Covid-19 pandemic, Fred’s operated as a choice food pantry which enabled clients to choose the food that is right for them and their families. Beginning March 2020, we pivoted to a “bag and go” model.  Fred’s Pantry currently serves approximately 1,300 people each week. Hours of operation are 4 pm to 6 pm on Wednesdays and 9 am to 11 am on Saturdays.

Turning Point

The Turning Point Program addresses the complex needs of individuals who have been chronically homeless.  To address those needs, we started our permanent supportive housing program for chronically homeless adults with a disability.  Clients live in their own apartment and receive supportive case management services that enable them to live productive lives while maintaining permanent housing.

Health Care for Homeless Veterans was developed to assist the growing epidemic of homelessness among our nations’ veterans, we started this 90-180-day transitional housing program for VA eligible veterans.  Working closely with the VA, we provide supportive case management services and linkage to VA medical and support services.  

Tierra Solida / Solida Ground

Tierra Sólida/Solid Ground is a proactive approach program geared towards reducing homelessness in Peekskill by providing housing stabilization support to those that are at risk of homelessness. The program will focus on assisting low wage workers and immigrants that have recently fallen behind on rent, utility bills or are facing imminent eviction. This short-term program focuses on stabilizing the home with temporary rental, utility and moving cost assistance. Once housing stability is achieved, Tierra Sólida will address social isolation and community services advocacy.
