We are very fortunate in Ulster County to have many community resources available in hard times.  Below is a list of some.  These resources can help connect you to other help if you don’t see what you need listed here.

Family of Woodstock: Any Problem Under the Sun

Since 1970, FAMILY has been an anchor for area residents- a place where people are respectful and caring, and where the search for solutions is creative and tireless. FAMILY’s shelters, emergency food pantries, domestic violence services, court advocates, counseling and case management services, hotlines, and child care supports all work together to help people achieve the changes they seek.  Services are, with few exceptions, free of charge and confidential.

Th United Way of Ulster County:

The motivation behind our work is the belief that it is the right of every individual to ask for help, and to have it granted by compassionate, knowledgeable people. Help finding a job, help learning to parent, help paying the rent, help overcoming substance abuse, help leaving an abusive relationship, help with childcare, help succeeding in school. We believe these services, and scores of others, should be available to anyone who needs and desires them.  This mission is what drives us to ask those we know, and those we don’t to join us.
