HVFCU Financial Services Raises Money to Help Community

Family Services wants to publicly thank the people at HVFCU Financial Services for their donation.

And, as much as we love the Poughkeepsie Journal, we have to correct their headline. HVFCU didn't raise this money for Family Services. They raised it to help friends and neighbors who need the services that FSI provides to our kids, victims of domestic violence and crime, young adults in need of job training, teen parents, and people who need some help getting on their feet.

Financial group raises money for nonprofit | poughkeepsiejournal.com | Poughkeepsie Journal: "Family Services recently received a $3,400 donation from Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union, based in Poughkeepsie.

The money was raised during HVFCU Financial Services’ annual Member Appreciation Celebration, which featured antique appraisals and a silent action fundraiser.

Jeffrey Thatcher, director of HVFCU Financial Services, said in a press release, “It’s important to give back to your community, and this was a way for us to do that.”"

 Thank you, Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union! Your donation is greatly needed and appreciated. It will be put to good use.

There's nothing worse than being hungry and many of the TRAC members count on having dinner with us.

Thanks to the NY Business Development Corporation (NYBDC) Foundation for their recent donation. Their contribution will help provide hot dinners for the kids at the TRAC Center.


TRAC - the Teen Resource Activity Center - offers City of Poughkeepsie youth a safe environment after school hours. At TRAC youth have many opportunities, including participation in community service activities, academic assistance, recreational activities, sports, mentors, volunteer opportunities and field trips.

The NYBDC Foundation asked NYBDC directors to identify community organizations that have "a direct and meaningful impact on the communities they serve." Thanks to director Carl Meyer who recommended Family Services.
