What The Newburgh Ministry Inc does

The Newburgh Ministry Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1983 in the City of Newburgh, New York, by five Catholic sisters to address homelessness, poverty, and basic-needs insecurity in the Hudson Valley region. The organization delivers direct services through physical facilities including the Winterhaven emergency shelter (19 beds, 24/7 year-round), a seasonal Warming Station (capacity up to 36), a drop-in center, a Hygiene Closet distributing basic supplies, a soup kitchen serving approximately 50 people three meals daily, and a thrift store. Its programmatic portfolio includes the Fragile Economies Project (peer financial and health coaching for 50 families), Ministry Medical Link (on-site healthcare via Cornerstone Family Healthcare and Mount Saint Mary College Nursing), and the planned Legacy House 50-unit affordable housing development on Johnston Street.

The Ministry operates without a proprietary technology platform, relying instead on community-based delivery, volunteer networks, and partner referrals from Catholic Charities, United Way of Dutchess and Orange Counties, Orange County DSS, and NHP Foundation. Its revenue model is entirely donation- and grant-driven: individual contributions via the Givelively/Stripe donation platform, event fundraising (including the 40th Anniversary Brunch and Hudson Valley Gives), in-kind donations (notably fresh produce from Harmony Farms), and government/private foundation grants including $500,000 from the Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative (2018), a repeat $300,000 from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation (2021), and ongoing NYS HHAP and Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative funding. All client services are provided free of charge. The organization employs 11-50 staff and is led by Executive Director Colin Jarvis, with governance from an independent Board of Directors chaired by David Dendy.
