The Arc Rockland

Project Joy — a People to People program — brings holiday cheer to more than 1,200 children from low-income Rockland families who rely on the food pantry. For many, the holidays can be a time of financial stress, and this program helps ensure joy, hope, and memories for families who need it most.

We’re thrilled to share that our Community Services team delivered the donations last week, including $670 in gift cards, along with requested gifts and stocking stuffers for a local family.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping make the season brighter for our neighbors in need.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season! ❄️

As you head out for holiday shopping, gatherings, and festive meet-ups, we encourage you to think of the incredible restaurants, bakeries, chocolatiers, and beverage partners who supported our 30th Anniversary A Taste of Rockland event this year.

These local establishments helped make our event a tremendous success, and we’re grateful for their ongoing partnership and generosity.

If you’re planning a meal, picking up treats, or meeting friends this season, consider stopping by the places that help strengthen our community – and let the manager or owner know you value their support of The Arc Rockland.

Thank you again to all of our participating establishments — we appreciate you!
