Volunteer Opportunities Of The Week: Turkey Trot

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Each week, Patch will be highlighting volunteer opportunities in the Hudson Valley. This will be a chance to help your community and be an opportunity to give back — perhaps in a way you didn't consider before.

And if you are in an organization that has some need for volunteers, be sure to let us know by emailing michael.woyton@patch.com.

This week we are putting the spotlight on some opportunities in the Hudson Valley.

This is a great opportunity for professionals 18+ who want to give back to their community.
