Athens Generator does it again!

We at Matthew 25 want to express our deepest gratitude to the Athens Generator Administrators and Staff for their incredible support! Each year, their generous golf tournament raises essential funds that greatly enhance our Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations in the county. This year, we were able to purchase 100 Thanksgiving turkeys and all the sides, as well as 100 Christmas Hams and everything that goes with them for our clients. We even had our very first "Sit-Down" dinner for the homeless, all thanks to your kindness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Athens Generator Staff! Our gratitude for you is immeasurable.

Thanksgiving 2026

Join us as we reflect on our beautiful First "Sit-Down" dinner for the homeless and less fortunate this Thanksgiving. With elegantly set tables adorned with real plates, silverware, and lovely centerpieces, our dedicated staff made sure each guest felt special. A heartfelt thank you to Matthew 25 Volunteers and St. Anthony's Secular Franciscan Order for sponsoring this event. Also, to everyone who generously donated their time and resources. Though we welcomed 48 attendees this year, we're excited to serve even more next Thanksgiving!

M25 Backpacks
Matthew 25 handed out over 100 school backpacks with school supplies in it! The children got a chance to pick out whatever backpack they wanted for school. We gave them the supplies and they were able to enjoy a hot dog or hamburger before they left It was a GREAT day and enjoyed by ALL!

Athens Generator

Matthew 25 is so grateful to the Athens Generator Plant 's Staff and Employees! YOU have always taken care of Matthew 25! Because of YOU all Matthew 25 can continue to serve the people of Greene County. Words are not enough to say how grateful that I am. I wish I could do more. I do know that you all will be blessed though! Thank you so much to everyone!

Thank YOU!

I just wanted to make sure that I "Thanked" this very special woman. Her name is Cathy Huber. This Christmas, she introduced me to "Toys For Tots" Christmas is a VERY busy time but I got all the paperwork done. When I got a phone call from "Toys For Tots" they told me that I was not able to receive the toys for the children. I was not very happy, I didn't want my clients to be sad. BUT... Cathy Huber came to the RESCUE she absolutely got each and every toy that was written down for the children. I really wanted to "Thank" her for her kindness. She had to make a couple of trips to Matthew 25 and went out of her way to make sure no one was without a gift. Thank you Cathy from the bottom of my heart!

Thank YOU!
To Nona Heil from AAA Hudson Valley. She arranged for the employees of AAA Hudson Valley to donate money to Matthew 25 for the holidays. Thank you all for your generous donation to Matthew 25!

Good Bye 2024!

Power Pak Begins... 2024/2025

Please look for your registration letter! We will be sending it home with your child in their backpack. Fill it out and return to the Main Office at the Catskill Elementary School with Attention to: Patti Dushane.

Your child will receive a blue bag every Friday. In it will be food for Saturday and Sunday. Our food is shelf stable and the kids should be able to make it themselves. Have your child return the empty bag back to the NURSES OFFICE every Monday, that way we can fill it again for the following week.

Thank you so much! We are looking forward to serving you again this school year.
