Welcome To The Jewish Community Center of Dutchess County

There's Something for Everyone at the JCCDC!

We provide outstanding Social, Educational, Recreational, and Cultural program and services to children and adults of all ages in Dutchess County and vicinity. We are a culturally diverse agency welcoming all members of the Jewish and the greater community.
Our Mission Statement can be found here.

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THE JCC

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The JCCDC will remain at 110 South Grand Avenue, and we will continue to offer all of our programs and services!  Unlike our local Y’s, which had to close their doors in recent years, we feel very fortunate to be able to stay open and to plan for the future!

Mitzvah Day 2012

Mitzvah Day 2012 is coming up just around the corner, on Sunday, May 20, 2012.  Members of the Jewish community in Dutchess and Ulster Counties will come together to help a variety of non-profit organizations, undertaking more than 15 projects, outdoors and indoors.  There will be opportunities for young and old to do a variety of “mitzvah” projects – cleaning streams, planting gardens, doing mailings, performing at nursing homes, maintaining Jewish cemeteries, cooking at soup kitchens, and much more.  Mitzvah Day collections of cereal for the hungry, used computers, and toiletries will also take place at the JCCDC in Poughkeepsie.  Mitzvah Day registration goes online on May 1, 2012 at www.jewishdutchess.org.  You can also volunteer by calling 845-471-9817 or email jfs@jewishdutchess.org.  A fun day of service and learning for all! 

The PJ Library comes to the Hudson Valley!   

Children who are between the ages of 6 months and 7 years of age who reside in Dutchess, Ulster, or Columbia Counties are eligible to receive a free Judaic book or tape in the mail each month.  Please go to www.pjlibrary.org for details and to enroll your child, or you can contact Melinda Margulies at the JCCDC (845) 471-0430 or at jebmar400@aol.com.. 

We are waiting to hear from you!
