Mohawk Valley Today Programs

Mohawk Valley Today is a regional hub where we support the residents, municipalities, farmers and producers, organizations, and visitors, by getting the word out about the history, programs, services, and events available throughout the Mohawk Valley region.

As a nonprofit corporation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c)(3), Mohawk Valley Today looks for opportunities to share all that is happening in the communities scattered throughout the valley. Our goal is to share with Mohawk Valley residents, visitors and transplants the region’s

  • Communities and shared history,
  • Local events that have become integral to Mohawk Valley’s ongoing story,
  • Resources that highlight local safety, seasonal best practices, and recreational activities,
  • Thriving agricultural community and how we can all get access to farm-fresh produce while supporting our local farmers and producers.
