The Hudson Gateway REALTOR Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS, recently presented a check for $1,500 to the Catholic Charities Community Services of Rockland (CCCSR) in Haverstraw.
CCCSR provides quality human services to any resident of Rockland County who needs help, non-Catholics and Catholics alike. They work to assure that the needy and vulnerable in Rockland have the basic necessities of life ”“ food, shelter and emergency assistance in times of crisis.Their services include homelessness and eviction prevention, a food pantry, nutritional outreach education programs, a community garden, emergency financial assistance, money management workshops, emergency warming center, immigration legal services and much more.
On average, CCCSR serves over 4,000 families and over 12,000 individuals each year. Over 8,000 pounds of fresh vegetables were distributed to food pantry participants, much of which was grown in their own garden last year. More than 160 struggling families and 700 children were “adopted” for the back-to-school season and Christmas holidays as part of their “Adopt-A-Family” program.“The support from the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation makes a very real difference for our families who now face inflation as yet another barrier to getting what they need,” said Dan Eudene, executive director. “We are grateful to the Foundation for their commitment to our community and for including CCCSR again this year as one of their partner agencies.”
Since 2014, the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation has donated thousands of dollars to charities and non-profits throughout the Hudson Valley. As concerned members of the communities we work in, the Hudson Gateway REALTOR Foundation participates in qualified community-based charities who serve the housing, hunger, health, happiness and humane needs of citizens everywhere.
