Heart$ for Fremont Street

Help two Peekskill community groups help the displaced residents of the Fremont Street apartment building destroyed by fire.

Two Facebook groups have joined forces to create a GoFundMe page to help restore the housing needs of the families affected by the Fremont Street fire.

“The Peekskill Community Network “ and “Peekskill NY in Pictures” are almost at half-goal in the first 24 hours, with the hope and prayer to surpass the goal. Every penny will go towards rents and security deposits to help these families get back on their feet, the organizers say.

If you want to follow their efforts, they’ve been hashtagging updates with #PeekskillStrong and #HumanityInPeekskill
