Sponsored by the Dutchess County Interfaith Council

Who are we helping…
60 men were bussed from NYC and arrived in mid-May at the Red Roof Inn in Poughkeepsie with little or no belongings. They are doctors, cooks, an electrician, an x-ray technician, college students, an air traffic controller, an anesthesiologist, landscapers, builders, all searching for a better life. They come from Senegal, Venezuela, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Columbia, and Mauritania, fleeing situations oppressive enough for them to be deemed asylum seekers, pursuing the status of “refugee” so they might legally settle in the U.S.

What they need: many of these men have never experienced winter!!!

Work boots – Steel toed for construction work - Sizes 9, 9.5, 10, & 10.5
