VOLUNTEERISM AT THE ARC GREATER HUDSON VALLEY

The Arc Greater Hudson Valley (Dutchess, Orange, Sullivan) Community Pre Voc (CPV) Volunteers were honored by The Landing of Poughkeepsie – an assisted living facility – for their volunteer work in the memory care unit. President Biden proclaimed April 21 – 27 as National Volunteer Week, a time to remember that one act of service – big or small – can make a difference in the lives of people. To commemorate National Volunteer Week, Charlene Yerkovich, Executive Director of The Landing of Poughkeepsie, presented a plaque to the CPV Volunteers. She quoted Winston Churchill during the presentation: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” And thanked the volunteers, telling them that everyone appreciates all that they do for the residents.

In May, The Arc Greater Hudson Valley was delighted to partner with Keller Williams Realtors - Hudson Valley United for their Red Day! Keller Williams – Hudson Valley United came with plants, shrubs, and lots of eager hands. They raked, dug, planted and even painted The Arc Greater Hudson Valley’s buildings located in Monticello and Campbell Hall. The organization said they were lucky that the rain held up and they now have a great partnership with a great organization who is eager to give back to their community.
