Help Mahoney’s Collect House Hold Items and Get a Free Pint

While the holiday season is a great time to buy gifts for your friends and loved ones, it's also a great time to give back to your community.

The Police Emerald Society along with our friends at Mahoney's Irish Pub in Poughkeepsie are holding a drive for the Ronald McDonald House. They're currently collecting items to stock the Ronald McDonald House pantry for the busy holiday season. They're looking for household items more than toys and food. Here is what you can donate to help them along:

Laundry Detergent
Dish soap
Dishwasher detergent
Lysol wipes
Soft soap
Swifter products
Aluminum foil
Saran Wrap
Zip lock bags-all sizes
Tissues
Toilet paper
Paper towels

If you have the time to donate, you  may drop the items off at Mahoney's (35 Main St, Poughkeepsie) on December 6th from 5pm to 8pm. And thanks to Emmett Woods and the staff at Mahoney's everyone that donates during those times will receive a free pint!
