Fallforart.org Announces Hudson Valley Artists are Coming to YOU!

What makes this special is its alignment with the Jewish Federation’s mission of community support. Proceeds from fallforart.org are distributed not only to the participating artists but also to several local nonprofits, including: Angel Food East, Circle of Friends for the Dying, Good Neighbor Food Pantry, Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, Jewish Family Services, Oncology Support Program, People’s Place, and RYAN House. By doing so, fallforart.org embodies the spirit of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world through acts of kindness and community service.
