Close Community Involvement | Prestige Hyundai of Kingston
At Prestige Hyundai, we believe that being a great dealership means more than just selling cars, it means being a dedicated and active community partner. We are deeply committed to giving back to Kingston, Ulster County, and the surrounding areas that have supported us over the years. Whether it's fighting food insecurity, empowering local youth, or supporting essential educational programs, we are honored to stand behind the incredible organizations that make a difference in the lives of our neighbors every single day. Read on to learn more about the vital local initiatives and charities we proudly support.
Kids In Need Foundation
We are incredibly proud to support the Kids In Need Foundation's Supply A Student program. This vital initiative equips students in under-resourced elementary schools with brand-new backpacks filled with essential school supplies. By ensuring these students have the tools they need, we are helping to boost their daily preparedness, classroom participation, and overall confidence.
Red Hook Responds
We are proud to support Red Hook Responds with a $2,500 donation made in December 2025. This incredible organization is dedicated to assisting neighbors in need throughout the Rhinebeck and Red Hook communities. Our contribution directly funds vital local initiatives, including daily meal deliveries, a community HelpLine, volunteer-led Neighborly Chats, and the Local Food Exchange.
People's Place
To help combat food insecurity and support our Ulster County neighbors, our dealership proudly partners with People's Place. With a $2,500 donation in June 2024 and another $2,500 in January 2026, we are helping to fully fund 23 essential, completely free programs for the community. From everyday empowerment programs to specific initiatives like Project Santa and the Pet Pantry, our continued support helps ensure our community's essential needs are met with compassion.
Ulster Literacy Association
We are proud to support the Ulster Literacy Association in its mission to welcome and empower adult learners from all walks of life. By providing a safe, confidential setting and the support of trained volunteer tutors, this organization helps adults develop basic reading and English-language skills. We love knowing that our support helps local residents achieve life-changing personal goals, whether that means earning a driver's license, attending a child's parent-teacher conference, passing a citizenship exam, or securing a great job.
Kingston High School Unified Living & Learning Club
We are incredibly proud to support the students at Kingston High School. In partnership with Hyundai Motor, Prestige Hyundai recently donated $3,000 to the Unified Living and Learning Club. This contribution directly funds vital extracurricular programs and activities designed to support, empower, and enrich the lives of special needs students in our community.
Annual Kingston Children’s Parade
Celebrating our local families is what it's all about! Our dealership proudly participates in the Annual Kingston Children’s Parade, bringing our community together for a day of costumes, performances, and incredible floats. In fact, out of the 25 to 30 floats last year, we were honored to step up as the only participating dealership. We love joining in on the festivities, which wrap up with a spectacular free carnival complete with a gaming trailer, virtual reality tent, and inflatable laser tag.
Boys & Girls Club
We are incredibly proud to support the Boys & Girls Club in their mission to inspire and enable local youth to lead fulfilling lives. By supporting this organization, we help provide positive opportunities for young people to develop the skills, confidence, and character needed to become responsible adults and engaged citizens in our community.
Jewish Federation of Ulster County (Fall for Art)
We are proud to support the Jewish Federation of Ulster County and their Fall for Art program. This incredible initiative allows us to cast a wide net of support, as Fall for Art directly funds a diverse group of essential regional nonprofits. Through this partnership, we are helping to uplift vital community organizations, including Angel Food East, Circle of Friends for the Dying, the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, Jewish Family Services, MyKingstonKids, the Oncology Support Program, People's Place, and R.Y.A.N. House.
Ulster Policeman’s Benevolent Association
We are proud to support the Ulster Policeman’s Benevolent Association and their annual Bowlathon. The funds raised during this fun, community-driven event go directly toward benefiting local youth organizations and sponsoring vital community events throughout the year. We are honored to partner with local law enforcement to make a positive, lasting impact in our neighborhoods.
