Holiday Cheers 

Each year, we set out to make the holidays brighter for our children and families by collecting gifts through Northern Rivers Holiday Giving, and each year you astound us with your generosity. This year, we set out to collect 6,000 gifts for our kids…and we ended up with more than 8,000! It seemed like the doorbells never stopped ringing at our dropoff locations in Albany and Schenectady, and every day’s mail brought mountains of packages.

Huge holiday thanks go out to our 48 Holiday Giving community partners, who each came up with their own creative ways to support the campaign. From giving trees to shopping sprees, they really came through:

Albany College of Pharmacy Hampton Inn & Suites- East Greenbush Pyramid Insurance Agency
The Apple Store at Crossgates Mall Hudson Valley Community College Q.U.I.L.T.S.
