Support these Dutchess County groups during the festive season through Holiday Helping Hand
For over 40 years, the Poughkeepsie Journal and the United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region have partnered on the Holiday Helping Hand campaign, and the fundraising drive is underway for the 2025 holiday season.
Holiday Helping Hand raises funds for Dutchess County programs that help provide a small amount of assistance for local kids and families who might otherwise have little or nothing for the holidays.
Local organizations will help deliver everything from holiday gifts and visits from Santa to utility assistance and holiday dinners to those who need it most this time of year.
Many thanks to the Poughkeepsie Journal for their partnership in this wonderful holiday program that has brought joy to so many children and families. It is written by Nickie Hayes, Poughkeepsie Journal. Click here to read full article.
