IN CENTRAL NY, 1 IN 7 RESIDENTS AND
1 IN 5 CHILDREN STRUGGLE WITH FOOD INSECURITY
The Voters for Vision and Values (VVV) are committed to continuing their support of the Preble Community Food Pantry.
Going forward, we’ve decided to “adopt” one item, peanut butter (16 oz.), to provide each month for the bags that are distributed. Our goal is 50 jars per month. You can support this effort by buying an extra jar when you're shopping and dropping it each month at our designated location (any time) or arrange for a pick up. Ordering via amazon and delivering to the drop off site is another option. Cash donations to the pantry are also graciously accepted.
Most importantly, if you know anyone in need, please tell them about the Preble Community Food Pantry that operates out of (but is separate from) the Preble Congregational Church. https://www.preblechurch.org/preble-community-food-pantry...
"Everyone is welcome. There are no requirements; we ask for no personal information and there is no sign in.
Food and hygiene items are freely offered"
It's a wonderful program so please help us spread the word to those in need.
For specific details about this effort, including drop off location,
please call or text Carol Levine (315-345-7275)
or Cathy Merrill (315-729-7020).
THANKS TO JIM DORING AND THE 2025 PREBLE TOWN BOARD
2026 BEGINS WITH THEIR GOOD WORK!
On Friday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced $68 million dollars was awarded to assist nearly 1,300 households within the state. The funding will go towards local governments and non-profits who assist homeowners, seniors, and veterans, the Governor added.
Grant funding comes through the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) and will provide both individuals and families, including older adults and veterans, financial support to make accessibility upgrades, complete emergency repairs, replace manufactured homes, and receive rental assistance, as well as down payment assistance when purchasing a first home.
“Addressing the housing crisis is about more than creating new places for people to live,” Governor Hochul said. “With this more than $68 million investment, we can help nearly 1,300 individuals and families make the repairs and upgrades that are necessary for them to remain safely and securely housed today and into the future.”
In Cortland County, both the City of Cortland and the Town of Preble were awarded funding through the Community Development Block Grant for housing rehabilitation. The City of Cortland was awarded $750,000 and the Town of Preble $600,000.
For Tompkins County, the Village of Groton and Town of Dryden also received funding through the Community Development Block Grant. Groton receiving $675,000 for housing rehabilitation, and the Town of Dryden $1,500,000 towards infrastructure in support of existing homes, according to the Governor’s Office.
The Community Development Block Grant through the state provides federal funding to help localities with projects that will improve the community. Housing grants can be used to rehabilitate owner-occupied or renter-occupied homes, and private water/wastewater system assistance.
