CELEBRATING 36 YEARS!
Hudson Valley Hospice Foundation is proud to mark the 37th Anniversary of its beloved Trees of Life program in 2026!
Since its beginning, this holiday tradition has brought comfort, remembrance, and hope to families across the Hudson Valley, while raising vital funds to support the compassionate care, programs, and services provided by Hudson Valley Hospice.
Your donation helps us care for the men, women, and children of Dutchess and Ulster Counties facing life-limiting illnesses. Thank you for helping us make a real difference!
DISPLAY LOCATIONS
From November 24th, 2025 through January 6th, 2026, the Trees of Life will be displayed at:
- Adams Fairacre Farms (Kingston, Poughkeepsie & Wappingers Falls)
- Poughkeepsie Galleria
- Online at hvhospice.org/trees
DONATION LEVELS & ORNAMENTS
This year’s ornament is in the shape of a start to represent light, guidance, and hope. Each piece is handmade by a local artist (Imperfect Om), in collaboration with Fall Kill Creative Works, a nonprofit community studio located in Poughkeepsie, NY.
