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 24, 2021 from 9:00 am to 12 noon for a fun-filled breakfast blast from the past. Every ticket includes a commemorative souvenir bowl so you’ll always remember that the most important meal is the one you made possible for someone without enough food.
Fill up your bowl with cereal, granola or oatmeal and your favorite dairy (or dairy-free) topping. Not a cereal lover? We’ve got you covered with hot food items. You’ll also get bottomless coffee, tea and juice. This year we will not have the cereal buffet but all food options will be self-serve or grab-and-go. We’re also dreaming up new entertainment, contests, raffles and of course there will be the silent auction –all while raising 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 2021. We are hoping to raise that–and double–to ensure these vital services remain available for those in need.
Tickets are $35.00 per person over the age of 13. Children 12 and under are free! Scroll down to purchase tickets online or call (845) 787-1789.
Giving Tuesday is an annual day of online philanthropy, organized to remind people that the holidays are all about giving.
Hudson Valley Community Services saves and improves lives, even while we all cope with ongoing pandemics.
We are only able to be there for our vulnerable clients because of your help. You make this Hudson Valley a kinder, more compassionate place.
Join America’s top Tupperware salesperson for a lively, fun-filled evening of laughter, contests and creative food storage solutions! Dixie Longate beams into your home through the magic of Zoom, all to raise funds for Hudson Valley Community Services (HVCS).

HVCS provides free prevention and education services to Hudson Valley residents at high risk for HIV, STDs, hepatitis C, and substance use disorder.

Our budgets were cut by 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic, and your donations will help us restore services to people in real need.
The Zoom link will be emailed to you upon completion of your ticket purchase.

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving is celebrated as Giving Tuesday, a national day of online philanthropy. To support HVCS’ mission, please consider making a donation.
Instead of our usual cereal buffet in-person event, this year’s Most Important Meal takes the form of an online auction. It will run for one week starting on Sunday, November 15th:
https://charitygrow.org/Browse/C821127/Hudson_Valley_Community_Services
Gift cards and most physical items were donated by generous supporters. The TV/movie memorabilia is on consignment from CharityGrow and will ship right to the winning bidder. Winners may need to pick up other items from whichever HVCS office is closest to them.
Once someone registers and places a bid, the website will contact them if they are outbid. Since expenses for this event were so low, we already have about $6,000 in profits thanks to our sponsors.
