Youth Compassion in Action

As the cost of food continues to rise, vulnerable households not only face hunger and food insecurity, they also face personal hygiene insecurity and lack of access to basic care products because the cost of those items has also risen beyond affordability.

One of our local students saw this community need, figured out how to help, and organized the Donations for Dignity Personal Care Product Drive.

Please take this opportunity to help our neighbors by supporting Vincent's compassion in action. You won't only be donating essential personal care items, you'll also help deliver dignity and hope to those who need it most. And, you'll be fostering empathy, service, leadership and a sense of community among our youth.

Update: As of October 31, AHT Mission Center will be providing Thanksgiving Meals-in-a-Bag for nearly 70 families in our service area communities. Please reach out if you can help our neighbors.
Thanks in advance for your compassion in action.

Our sincere gratitude to Hudson Valley Foundation for Youth Health who help make it possible for Teri's Place (a Mission Center program) to provide families with much-needed personal care items.
Pictured are some of the prepacked bags distributed on a regular basis to our vulnerable neighbors.
In addition, Teri's Place also provides emergency baskets to families who are newly rehoused in local motels. Grants from HVFYH help make both of these initiatives possible.
Children and youth are particularly impacted when they have limited or no access to personal hygiene basics like bath soap, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, sanitary products, laundry detergent, etc. Teri's Place and HVFYH work together to help youth break the cycle of hygiene insecurity, shame, and exclusion as we boost youth self-confidence, ownership, and empowerment by supplying basic self-care necessities.

Thanks, Hudson Valley Foundation For Youth Health! ❤️

*And, thanks to two of our amazing Mission Center youth volunteers who helped to inventory and pack personal care items.

Since 2017, our local Lowe's has been partnering with Ascension Holy Trinity Mission Center to provide food, clothing, and other basic necessities to our vulnerable neighbors, in a safe and welcoming environment. From constructing a ramp at our HT Pantry site to replacing windows, donating equipment, and generally helping to make our service spaces healthier and more comfortable and hospitable, Lowe's staff has consistently stepped up.
Lowe's employees have once again responded to a need with compassion in action.
Pictured are a few of the new coats donated by our friends at Lowe's. They heard about Teri's Place coat drive and went to work supporting this community outreach initiative.
Heartfelt thanks to Joe Crozzoli, Store Manager, and the caring, generous staff at Lowe's. ❤️
Next time you're there, please thank them for investing in our community.
