HVCC can make a difference for local area refugee families. This is the last week of our Winter Coat Drive drive! Please share this with your coworkers and students!
Hudson Valley Community College’s ECAR (Every Campus a Refuge) program is seeking donations of winter jackets, hats and gloves, as well as car seats and strollers to benefit refugee families resettling in our area. Both new items, and used items in clean, good condition will be accepted.
I am often asked what makes someone a refugee and how they come to be in the US. This video 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.
