Holiday Helping Hand

Holiday Helping Hand is a partnership of the Poughkeepsie Journal and United Way of Dutchess County. This program provides support for individuals, seniors, children and families who might otherwise have little or nothing for the holidays.

Contributions to Holiday Helping Hand are directed towards local organizations that provide holiday gatherings, gifts for children and youth, food baskets and support for heating and utility assistance. This assistance comes in the form of food, gifts or utility assistance, and grants are made through community partners. 100% of your gift to the Holiday Helping Hand fund goes to clients; neither United Way nor the Journal recoup any expenses from your gift.
