NHFD - YLNG - YVN Mother’s Day Collection Drive 2018

June 6, 2018
In partnership with the New Haven Fire Department, Yale Latino Networking Affinity Group, the Yale Veterans Network, and Yale Police Department, over 20 departments across campus collected toiletry items and related donations for mothers and children in our New Reach community shelters for Mother’s Day! Hundreds of donations were provided along with a YVN carry-all bag during a celebration on Friday, May 11th.
