For mid-Hudson families in need, this organization's holiday efforts are 'just wonderful'
On Nov. 17, Catholic Charities of Sullivan, Orange & Ulster distributed more than 145 turkey baskets in Newburgh for the Thanksgiving holiday.
A line, formed at 280 Broadway in the morning hours, had up to 25 people in it at a time, who were met by smiling case managers.
The organization lost $40,000 in aid this year due to funding cuts at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose acting administrator, David Richardson, resigned on Nov. 17 after a six-month tenure.
