OutHudson is a volunteer led non-profit organization formed in 2016, with a mission to improve the quality of life and advance the visibility of LGBTQ people in Columbia County. Nine Pin, who sources most of the apples it uses from Columbia County, coordinated the effort to both help amplify the organization’s voice and raise money for their cause.
The donation of $1,710 will help organize various social and educational LGBTQ events such as movie screenings, intergenerational programming, potlucks, discussion groups, youth/teen support groups, drag brunches, author/poetry readings, Drag Queen Story Time, community town halls, educational workshops, and HIV/AIDS programming.
“We are glad to be able to assist OutHudson with the extraordinary work it does for our LGBTQ community,” said Alejandro del Peral, co-founder and cidermaker. “We are honored to be a part of such an important cause.”
