The Wolf Den of Heroes Celebrates First Responders in Our Community

For the last several years here at The Wolf, we've been trying to figure out a way to put a spotlight on the First Responders in our community. They do so much for us and leave their families at a moments notice to help out our neighbors in need.

We decided the least we could do is give them the spotlight on Wakin' Up With CJ and Jess and social media as a 'thank you' for all they do. Then, our partners at Mental Health America Dutchess County and Mid Hudson Pump jumped on board with their support and because of them each month the First Responder Wolf Den Inductee receives a gift of $250.
