HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Today’s opportunity is Knit or Crochet Baby Blankets for the New York Milk Bank. Volunteers who love to knit or crochet can make baby blankets for the New York Milk Bank. The cozy items will be sent to hospital neonatal intensive care units and included in gift baskets that are delivered to new moms. Blankets need to be just large enough for a stroller or car seat — about 30x30 inches or 36x36 inches. To express interest or for more information, go here.
