Fishkill, NY-based law firm Feldman, Kleidman, Coffey & Sappe LLP (FKC&S) recently donated $4,500 to Abilities First, a Hudson Valley nonprofit dedicated to providing people who face developmental challenges and their families support to attain independence, self-determination, integration and acceptance by others through education, exploration and experience. Abilities First serves more than 1,500 individuals ages birth through life throughout the Hudson Valley region in day programs, schools, employment training, community habilitation programs and residential services. The donation comes as part of FKC&S’s 35 Acts of Kindness giving campaign, which launched in 2021 in celebration of the firm’s 35th anniversary. FKC&S staff have identified causes close to their hearts to receive gifts, including Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts of Dutchess County and Hudson Valley Hospice, both prior beneficiaries of the campaign.
