Holiday Season 2025 Update!

The CEC donation drive is now in full swing.  CEC operates solely on the generosity of the community and appreciates every gift that is given .  All funds are used to directly help our mission of aiding foster children and children in need.  Please consider contributing by sending a donation to : Children’s Enrichment Committee , C/O Dispute Resolution, 210 East Main Street, Middletown, NY 10940

CEC will again hold its annual gift wrapping fundraiser.  It will be held at the Galleria Mall in Middletown on December 20 and 21, 2025 where our members will happily wrap any gifts you have in exchange for a donation to our mission 

Our six 2025 scholarships have all been presented to deserving students and we wish them success in their future endeavours.  Applications for 2026 scholarships will be available in the spring.  Please contact CEC at cec@drcservices.org for further information. 

CEC would like to thank the Knights of Columbus for generously offering to provide new winter coats to our list of children in need. Handmade hats, mittens and scarves are being donated by the Yarntastices and Slate Hill quilters to go with the coats.

In 2024 CEC provided holiday gifts for 122 children and we are happy to report that we are on track to do the same in December 2025. Receiving information from DSS and NAFI, children receive multiple gifts from their wish lists as well as handknit hats, scarves, mittens and blankets. A sincere thanks goes to the Yarntastics, Slate Hill Quilters and the Newburgh Methodist Church for their generous donations.

Thank you to all who continue to donate their time and talents in running our ongoing activities of fundraisers, the toiletry program, yard sales and so much more. Extra hands are always needed. Please contact us to see how you can help.
