A Huge Thank You to Our Community: Stocking Stuffers Success!
This holiday season, Broadway Utica is overflowing with gratitude — thanks to you, our incredible community.
When we launched our Stocking Stuffers for Our Local Veterans drive, we hoped for a generous response. What happened instead was truly inspiring: you showed up in full force, donating essential items and heartfelt care for the Veterans Outreach Center at the Utica Center for Development.
What You Made Possible
- Tons of donated items — from cozy blankets to hygiene supplies, clothing, and more — all of which will go directly to veterans in need.
- A powerful show of community support, reminding our veterans that they are seen, appreciated, and honored.
- Increased awareness about the vital work being done at the Veterans Outreach Center: case management, housing assistance, veteran peer support, and more.
Why This Matters
The Veteran’s Outreach Center – part of the Utica Center for Development – offers a lifeline to local veterans and their families. It provides housing support, benefits counseling, and so much more. In recent years, the Center has become an especially important touchpoint in our community for veterans who need resources, connection, and hope.
A Heartfelt Thank You
To every individual, family, business, and organization that donated — thank you. Your generosity isn’t just about the things you gave. You gave dignity. You gave solidarity. You gave the message that our veterans matter deeply to this city.
You’ve embodied the spirit of Broadway Utica going beyond the stage — using our platform to uplift those who have served. Together, we’re doing more than putting on shows. We’re building a stronger, more caring community.
