Now through June 21st, United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region is holding a Community Baby Shower that will provide essential baby items to families at risk, so that they can give their babies a healthy start in life.
On Friday, June 21st from 12 noon to 4 pm, United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region will be partnering with HRH Care Community Health and the New York State Department of Health to offer free community health screenings at the Family Partnership Center (29 N. Hamilton Street, Poughkeepsie).
Every Friday, here at United Way we look forward to dressing down. To wearing jeans and usually a United Way "Live United" tee. But today, Wednesday, April 24, we're joining United Way employees around the country to wear denim as a way to show solidarity for survivors of sexual assault.

I grew up in Bainbridge New York, a small upstate New York town where dairy farming was the major occupation. Bainbridge did have an Elmer’s Glue factory, which employed about 150 people, but farming was the way of life for most residents. I learned at an early age the importance of helping your neighbor in need because you never knew when you’d need help in return. With only 1,500 residents Bainbridge depended on volunteers to staff our Fire Department, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, Grange, Lions Club, Little League, and many other civic organizations.
