R.Y.A.N. has purchased the former Knights of Columbus building on Barclay Street (9W) in Saugerties, NY. We have created a plan to renovate the property into a self-sustaining, safe, sober, supportive home for individuals who are in recovery and are working to establish themselves back into the community. Under this plan the house will have a person in long-term recovery to oversee and manage the house. Each resident must be employed, they will pay rent, do chores and maintenance, cook for themselves, and basically live at the “R.Y.A.N. House” until they are secure financially, and secure in their recovery to live more independently.

The building also provides space for support meetings for anyone in recovery, grieving the loss of a loved one, as well as their families.

There’s not a person in our community that hasn’t been affected by addiction; a family member,  neighbor, or friend. This project is an opportunity to help those afflicted, free them of the cycle of social services, help them get back on their feet, and become a productive contributing member of the community. R.Y.A.N. works hard to hold community fundraisers to pay for this project, but we will need pledges for financial support and/or other resources to succeed. We are asking you to consider a donation of $1000, $5000, or $10,000 or perhaps a donation of some other resource. Please download and print our Donation Form. Complete the form and send it with your tax deductible donation to the address listed.

We're always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

The Kelder Family and all of us at Team R.Y.A.N.
