Our Story
Founded in 1988, the North East Community Center (NECC) emerged from a community-driven initiative to address the lack of social support services in the region. Initially starting as a monthly meeting to identify local needs, NECC launched its first program, North East Car Care, in collaboration with the American Red Cross of Dutchess County. This program connected volunteer drivers with individuals requiring transportation. Over the years, NECC has expanded its services and established a permanent facility, which has undergone several renovations to enhance community support.
