HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help out through the holidays and help others.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Today's opportunity is for the Westchester Parks Foundation and would be appropriate if you have some time off between Christmas and New Year's Day. The foundation is looking for volunteers to perform trail maintenance at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Organizers said no experience is necessary and all supplies will be provided, though you need to bring your own water and wear clothes that can get dirty. For more information, or to express interest, go here.
