For more than a century, the Historic Reher Bakery at 101 Broadway has been a place of work, resilience, and community. Today, the Reher Center preserves that legacy by sharing the stories of immigration, labor, and belonging through exhibitions, educational programs, tours, and public events that connect our past with our present.

Your support of our Annual Fall Fundraiser helps sustain this work—preserving our historic building, expanding educational programming, and ensuring that the voices and experiences of immigrants continue to be shared throughout the Hudson Valley.

Whether you've attended a Reher Reads program, toured the historic bakery, explored one of our exhibitions, or simply believe that history has the power to bring people together, we hope you'll join us for this special evening. Together, we are preserving history, strengthening community, and building belonging.

We can't wait to celebrate with you.
