Going shopping for new school clothes is a right of passage for many kids, but homeless youth don’t often have this opportunity.  Our Great Friend to Kids Fund Drive provides *NEW* sneakers and clothes to homeless youth living with Hudson River Housing. 

Every year, Hudson River Housing helps over 250 homeless kids, providing them with shelter, nutritious meals, counseling  and support.

You can help! We are seeking monetary  contributions and donations of gift cards to take kids shopping with their caregivers to pick out their own first day of school outfit. You can sponsor new clothes and shoes for one homeless child with a $75 donation. Contributions of any amount are welcome!

Donations of gift cards in any amount are encouraged. Local retailers such as Target, Burlington, Sears, The Children’s Place, Payless, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, & Famous Footwear are preferred. 

Don't want to donate online or are looking to contribute a gift card? Donations can also be mailed or dropped off at Hudson River Housing at 313 Mill Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601.

In 2018, Hudson River Housing was the recipient of the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum Great Friend to Kids Award. We’re proud to work with other local organizations like the Children’s Museum to make the lives of all kids in the Hudson Valley a little brighter.
