Please help our newest New Yorkers stay warm this winter.
Last year, the college community donated over 250 winter clothing items for local refugees.
Let’s Do It Again!
Hudson Valley Community College’s ECAR (Every Campus a Refuge) program is seeking donations of winter jackets, hats, gloves, scarves and boots to benefit refugee families resettling in our area. Both new items, and used items in clean, good condition will be accepted.
Items can be dropped off in the Marvin Faculty Wing, room 107, between now and Thursday, Dec. 19.
I am often asked what makes someone a refugee and how they come to be in the US. Click here to view a video that is a great starting point for answering that question.
Have more questions? Want to learn more about ECAR, or how you can support resettlement in our community? Are you part of a club or teaching a class where a community project could be enriching? Please reach out to Catherine Willis, ECAR coordinator, at c.willis@hvcc.edu.
