Semper Fi Parents of the Hudson Valley, a 501c(3) organization and recognized New York State charity, owes its origin to the desire of a handful of local parents to gather, share information and support each other after their Marine recruit left home for boot camp. Since then our membership has grown across the Hudson Valley, including (parents of) those serving in the Army, Navy and Air Force and covers all aspects of the military service.

Our focused goal is to support those who are in the military, both deployed and stateside. We engage with the community to raise funds to offset the cost of shipping packages to our troops, educate parents by hosting informational session and offer education scholarships in the memory of our Fallen Heroes to help those how are recently discharged from the service.

Our children who protect and honor our country are a special breed of people. The work of Semper Fi Parents enables us to feel useful and productive while our children face the hardest battles of all. It is with a most gracious heart that we express a profound gratitude for your love, support and generosity.

We hope the information we provide here will prove useful. Please check back often.

Thank you.
