HONOR

HONOR is throwing it back to the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, NY's WOMEN MEAN BUSINESS event earlier this month. It was an inspiring gathering, celebrating strength and resilience while navigating leadership and collaboration with incredible women in our business community. Congratulations to HONOR’s board member Vicki Mastronardi on receiving the first annual MEANingful Impact Award

Please note that HONOR's Food Pantry will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

We encourage anyone who may need assistance to plan ahead and visit before the holiday.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to serving our community when we reopen.

Leadership Dutchess and Leadership Orange recently celebrated their most recent graduating classes, marking the completion of an incredible year of leadership development, community engagement, and service across the Lower Hudson Valley.

We are proud to recognize two HONOR team members, Evan Wilson and Olympia Boyce, who were among the graduates. Their commitment to growth, collaboration, and service reflects the values they bring to our work at HONOR every day.

Congratulations to all the graduates for completing this meaningful journey and for the positive impact they continue to have in our region.

The challenges aren't always visible.

Through A Friend's House*, HONOR provides emergency shelter and support services for youth who need a safe place to stay and a path forward.

Together, we can help ensure no young person has to navigate these challenges alone.

June is National PTSD Awareness Month.

Trauma can affect every aspect of a person's life, including their health, relationships, employment, and housing stability.

For individuals facing hardship, having access to support, safe housing, and community resources can make a meaningful difference on the path toward healing and stability.

This month, we recognize the importance of compassion, understanding, and support for those living with the effects of trauma.

Housing. Hope. A Path Forward.

This Pride Month, we're reminded of the importance of ensuring young people know they are not alone.

A Friend's House* is more than a shelter. It's a safe place for youth who need support, stability, and someone in their corner.

Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, A Friend's House provides emergency shelter and services for young people facing difficult circumstances, helping them move toward a safer and brighter future.

Every young person deserves access to safety, support, and hope when they need it most.

If you know a youth, school, or community organization that could benefit from this resource, please help spread the word.

Housing. Hope. A Path Forward. For All.

Mental health and housing are deeply connected.

Without stable housing, managing health challenges becomes significantly harder. Access to care is inconsistent, and support systems are often difficult to navigate.

At HONOR, services are designed to meet people where they are, connecting individuals and families to housing, crisis support, and coordinated care that helps them move toward stability.

Because progress is more possible when support is consistent and accessible.

Support systems matter.

Housing. Hope. A Path Forward.
