A Beautiful Act of Giving from St. Francis of Assisi Church

We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dena Fischetti and the generous parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi Church in West Nyack for their incredible act of kindness. Their recent visit to Montefiore Nyack Hospital was nothing short of extraordinary.

The group arrived with a remarkable donation that included brand-new adult and baby clothing for our Dignity Closet, infant car seats and thoughtfully prepared “busy bags” filled with activities to brighten the spirits of our pediatric patients.

During their visit, they also toured the hospital to see firsthand how their gifts will directly impact the lives of the patients and families we serve. These donations will make an immediate and meaningful difference:

  • The Dignity Closet offers essential clothing to patients in need, ensuring no one leaves the hospital without the basic items they deserve.
  • The car seats provide parents with security and peace of mind as they take their newborns home.
  • The busy bags offer comfort, distraction and joy to children during their hospital stay.

This generous outpouring of support is a shining example of the power of community and compassion. Thank you, Dena and the entire St. Francis of Assisi community, for your unwavering generosity and for truly embodying the spirit of giving. Your support uplifts our mission and brings hope and dignity to so many.

We are currently in need of items to help us continue assembling these busy bags for our youngest patients. Items needed include:

If you would like to donate to our Dignity Closet or busy bag program, please contact the Montefiore Nyack Foundation at (845) 348-2770 or mnh-foundation@montefiorenyack.org. Your generosity will go a long way in brightening a child’s day.
