Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley Partners with Hudson Valley Arts Collective to Release Poems for a Wish

In celebration of 40 Years of Wishes, Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley is proud to partner with the Hudson Valley Arts Collective - a community‑driven space for self‑expression and creativity rooted in the heart of the Rivertowns.

Together, we are excited to announce the release of Poems for a Wish, a special anthology published by the Hudson Valley Arts Collective. The collection brings together poets from across the Hudson Valley whose work reflects the richness, diversity, and shared spirit of our creative community. Each poem offers a unique inner world, forming a collective chorus shaped by common ground and deep connection.

True to the Hudson Valley Arts Collective's mission to build community, foster collaboration, and create meaningful connection, Poems for a Wish celebrates poetry as a communal practice - one that brings people together through storytelling, creativity, and shared purpose. A portion of the proceeds from the anthology will directly support Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley, helping bring hope, joy, and life‑changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the region.

This partnership is a powerful reminder that when creativity and community come together, the impact can be truly transformative. Purchase your copy today and help grant local wishes - 80% of sales will be donated directly to the chapter.
