Get Ready For Breakfast: Buy Your Tickets for The Most Important Meal

Friday, September 23rd, 2022

The 2022 Most Important Meal event will be held on Sunday, October 23, 2022 to raise money for our food closet program.

Help local people who are living with chronic illnesses get the nutrition and support they need to stay as healthy as possible!

Join HVCS at the Fishkill Recreation Center on Sunday, October 23, 2022 from 9:00 am to 12 noon for a fun-filled breakfast blast from the past.

Fill up on cereal, granola or oatmeal and your favorite dairy (or dairy-free) topping at our self-serve grab-and-go bar. Not a cereal lover? We’ve got you covered with hot food items. You’ll also get bottomless coffee, tea and juice. We’ll also have contests, raffles, and candy sales all to raise funds for HVCS’ food and nutrition programs.

Our food and nutrition programs serve hundreds of people and families each year, and the budget is currently $10,000 short for 2023. We are hoping to raise that–and double–to ensure these vital services remain available for those in need.

Tickets

Tickets are $35.00 per person over the age of 13. Children 12 and under are free! You can also buy a table of 10 for $250.00 and save $100!

International Overdose Awareness Day

Wednesday, June 29th, 2022

International Overdose Awareness DayHudson Valley Community Services, a division of Cornerstone Family Healthcare, is hosting a candlelight vigil in honor of International Overdose Awareness Day. This annual commemoration takes place on August 31st to pay respect to those lost to substance use overdose, raise awareness of local substance use disorder services, and end stigma around overdose, substance use and mental health.

Hudson Valley Community Services will hold a vigil with personal experience speakers, memorials, and harm reduction supplies on the front lawn of the First Congregational Church of Christ at 269 Mill Street in Poughkeepsie on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, at 7:00 pm. The Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health (DBCH) will offer Narcan training for people interested in receiving a free Narcan kit.  DBCH Deputy Commissioner, Jean-Marie Niebuhr, LCSW-R, will also provide an overview of the opiate epidemic and current responses in the Dutchess County community.

Overdoses due to opioid use have increased 28.5% year over year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Center for Health Statistics. 2021 saw the highest-ever recorded overdose deaths in the United States.

Hudson Valley Community Services and Cornerstone Family Healthcare operate harm reduction programs for people with and at high risk for substance use disorder, including medication assisted treatment (MAT), methadone, syringe access, behavioral health counseling and community education. They work in concert with other support providers in Dutchess and nearby counties, including the Stabilization Center in Poughkeepsie.
