Supporting Everyone’s
Right to Thrive
Support our Mission
With your support, we can work to ensure everyone in the Hudson Valley has the right to thrive.
Family Services supports everyone’s right to thrive.
Founded in 1879, Family Services works to create Safety, Healing, Growth, and Hope in the Hudson Valley. We create safety through victim services, gun violence prevention, and re-entry services, support healing through mental health care, and encourage growth through teen programs, family support services, and substance use prevention. Last year, nearly 22,000 children, adults, and families benefited from Family Services programs across Dutchess, Ulster, and Orange counties.
Family Services also manages the Family Partnership Center as a community center where people of all ages can come together for conversation and the exchange of ideas, participate in athletics and arts programming, and where a variety of nonprofits and related organizations can co-locate and collaborate to offer enhanced services that create real access.
