Thank You YVN-DAY Holiday Clothing Drive for ECCC

Tuesday, January 16, 2018

A note of gratitude to the combined work of the Yale Veterans Network and DiversAbility at Yale (DAY), Yale Library Staff Association (LiSA) and Yale University Libraries for a successful inaugural effort in gathering new clothing for local veterans of the Errera Community Center Homeless Team.  Several items were donated at sponsorship locations around campus and many more were purchased through our Amazon Wishlist!  As this effort would be appreciated year-round, we have replenished the online link for donations to be available for giving at the donor’s convenience. Our Steering Committee would like to acknowledge the coordination efforts of Darlene Houston, Karen Reynolds, Lexi Brackett, Melissa Funaro, Cindy Greenspun, Angela Maria Malerba, Melanie Norton, and Lt. Brian Logan and Ofc. Chris Reddington of Yale Police Department, as well as Maureen Pasko and Matt Abbott of the VA’s Errera Community Care Center.  Learn more about the work of the ECCC here.  We look forward to working together again in the coming year for this effort.
