2019-20 Message from President Kathy Hufcut



November 2019


Dear Friends, 


Every day it seems there’s a headline about the opioid epidemic in America and how it is tearing families apart. The youngest victims of this epidemic are children. From 2015-18 there has been close to a 17% increase in the number of children in foster care in Orange County, children who can only hope that one day their family will be able to reunite in a healthy and loving environment.


The Children’s Enrichment Committee of Orange County, New York was created over 100 years ago to help the children in need in our community. Our all-volunteer organization purchases and wraps holiday presents asked for by the children, to brighten a day when their feelings of loss must be greatest. In addition, we answer requests for a variety of items from musical instruments to the most basic needs of new clothes for a new life. Through our Emily Akers Scholarship program, we offer financial aid to high school graduates who might otherwise have to give up their dreams of a college education.


Won’t you please help us help these children? Your generosity can have a positive impact on a child or teenager facing the most uncertain of times.


Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to help the children of Orange County:


                                    Children’s Enrichment Committee

                                     P.O. Box 297

                                     Middletown, NY 10940


Thank you for helping good children through bad times.


                                                                            Sincerely,




                                                                      Kathy Hufcut, President
