If you'd like to help paint, we'll be starting to paint on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Just show up, and bring supplies if you have them.

The flooding that has hit the Southern Tier has hit A New Hope Center pretty hard- any support you can offer is not only crucial, it's very appreciated. Our offices had 18 inches of water, the shelter had 15 inches, and many of our staff had significant issues in their homes. We could use money and volunteer labor help.

11/21/11: We are now back at our offices at 20 Church St. in Owego, and our phones are completely up and running.
We are very limited on space at this time, so please hold your donations of clothing, food, and household goods until we can give further notice. The email to any staff@anewhopecenter.org is very limited, so for the short term, please send email to fbialy@stny.rr.com.

Update 11/15/11: our safe shelter is in the process of being rehabilitated, and we expect it to be functional for services again by the end of the year at the very latest- please do call the hotline as necessary and we will find a way to help.

We are also in the process of working with the owner of the 20 Church St. office location to rehabilitate our office space and believe we will be back up to full capacity by the beginning of the new year. In the meantime, continue to call the hotline, as we are coordinating services in a variety of temporary satellite locations.

11/21/11: Our phone system is now fully functional.
We do appreciate the support we're receiving from so many members of our community and the patience from everyone as we're working to make the best of a bad situation. If you'd like to help sand and apply joint compound or paint, please call or stop in M-F. Thank you.

Thank you to those that keep on giving to help us help others.

We're now (8/23/11) seeking resumes of qualified individuals to serve as an advocate/counselor- please send to Francis J. Bialy at our offices.
