The season for giving is upon us here at SUNY Ulster and our clubs are busy at work helping our community.
The Human Services Club plans on sponsoring a family this Christmas season through Christmas Wishes Ulster County. Christmas Wishes Ulster County is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 in hopes of helping families during the Christmas season. With help from generous donors and volunteers, they are now able to help families all year long! If you’re interested in sponsoring a family or child you’re invited to do so!
The Veterans Club has been collecting bottles to donate to the Catskills Animal sanctuary. Catskill Animal Sanctuary is a 150-acre refuge in New York’s Hudson Valley for 11 species of farmed animals rescued from cruelty, neglect and abandonment. Although the holiday drive has concluded at SUNY Ulster you can still donate or sponsor an animal. Your gift gives love and support to animals needing sanctuary, heals our ailing planet, and helps create a harmonious world for all living beings.
The Nursing Club is helping seniors create holiday greeting cards at Ten Broeck Commons in Lake Katrine to help promote the coziness, security and enhanced quality of life Ten Broeck is known for. All donations of craft supplies for the event are appreciated and can be dropped off on the SUNY Ulster campus at Hardenburgh Hall, Room 130-C until December 15.
This is the time of year for giving but these groups appreciate and accept donations all year round. Remember to spread cheer throughout the year!
