We're Back! Doug Maloney Memorial Golf Tournament

Stories from the pandemic

During the pandemic shut down, there were a lot of difficult transitions, but one that really helped our long-term planning was having staff work remotely. While employees were able to work remotely, thanks to our IT Department, many large projects in our main building at 1 Amy Kay Parkway were able to be completed, or mostly completed: like the full renovation of our main reception area, the expansion of our Day Habilitation and PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) classroom spaces to welcome back more individuals, and the much needed update of many of our administration offices. If we had all been working in the building, the contractors would have never been able to get all this work done so quickly. We are thankful for this time and their hard work. This is one of those silver linings from the pandemic. Gateway's story of triumph and survival during the pandemic was also recently featured in Mid-Hudson News. Read the full story here.

FeedHV recognizes Gateway Hudson Valley

Last September, we participated in a pilot Food Rescue project through a NYS Food and Anti-Hunger initiative under Governor Cuomo. We collaborated with Hudson Valley Agribusiness Development Corporation. Volunteers from other organizations went out in to farm fields and gleaned vegetables. They brought the food here to our kitchen and our now Food Services Director, Shannon Hart, was hired to process the food. One hundred pounds of food was donated to FeedHV who distributed it to people in need and they have recognized us for our participation. Thank you! 

Henry Bunn Pfeffer, exhibited at local credit union 

Henry Bunn Pfeffer, one of our participants, was a featured artist at the Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union branch on Morton Blvd. in Kingston during the month of April. Henry is working on a journey of recovery during his time at Gateway, allowing him to refocus on the artist he’s always been, as he has been painting for most of his life. His pieces are generally large scale on canvas with acrylic and house paints as his medium, and applies them using a pallet knife. As a member of the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK), he looks forward to sharing more of his work with the community.
