Fuller Center NY Responds
This is what we call fire season, which comes before the floodseason. We have assisted many families in the Mount Vernon fire, School Street Yonkers fires, a New Rochelle fire, and am in contact with helping Mamaroneck fire victims. Every day is like a month’s time in a disaster, and our team responds with clothing, gift cards, expertise, finding housing when possible, and being there for those in need. Regular updates can be found on The Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York City Facebook page, and follow us on Instagram @FullerCenterNY. Donations are always welcome as we hit the ground running and stay in contact with families, not just in the immediate, but for the long run. Please be safe, and have a go bag, have a plan. In the winter we use more electrical outlets, heaters, etc., which creates a demand on our use and also more risk for fires.

Dr. King reminds us that “ Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” At the Fuller Center for Housing of Greater New York, they see that truth daily. Service isn’t abstract there, it’s the ‘Theology of the Hammer,’ with neighbors lifting neighbors. When we choose to serve, we don’t just build homes, we build dignity, stability, and the kind of community Dr. King envisioned. That’s the greatness we’re called out to live!

"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for assisting me in getting the repairs done to my home as a result of storm Elliot on Decemeber 23rd, 2022. The storm flooded my basement and knocked out my boilers and hot water tanks. I contacted Jim and he came out to my home to assess the damges. Jim was a means of emotional support to me. May God continue to bless them for the good they're doing to help others feel happy and peaceful in their homes."

Our Response to COVID-19
Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this pandemic. It has hit everyone in a different way. As you can imagine, with spring being our biggest building time, we have had to make adjustments to respect new social distancing measures. Usually during this time of the year, schools, congregations and companies are all out building and donating. This has all come to a stop and donations have fallen off drastically. Now, more than ever, we’re grateful for your support. Even during these hard times, the Fuller Center DART (Disaster Assistance Recovery Team) has sprung to action.Our team that responded to the floods in Mamaroneck, Hurricane Sandy and many other times of extreme need is once again active. In disaster response, everyone is unique and vital, from helping with food distribution to being there for families in need. Over the past weeks we have given out food to restaurant workers, laborers and their families. We’ve supported a number of our Fuller Center families in Yonkers and beyond with food and supplies. We accept food donations (non perishables) which, will be delivered to families by our mutual aid team.Along with daily construction updates, during this time of Lent, Passover, and Easter, we will rise again with a scheduled BLITZ BUILD as part of our OneNY 2020 campaign and our response to kickoff a great year of building and love! We will hit the ground running when this is over. Our OneNY2020 campaign needs your pledge and your gift now more than ever.
