25th annual event benefits homeless shelter

The 25th annual Rooftime Volleyball Tournament, held July 8 and 9 at Memorial Park in Beacon, raised more than $12,000 for the Webster House Emergency Shelter in Poughkeepsie. More than 240 players competed at the tournament, some traveling from as far away as Florida and Texas.

Webster House is Dutchess County’s only walk-in shelter and can accommodate as many as 60 single adults. In 2016 the shelter, which is operated by Hudson River Housing, provided more than 39,000 meals.
