Marine Corps veteran and New York State Senator James Sanders Jr. invites you to bring a little bit of happiness to an elderly veteran this Valentine's Day.
On this holiday, when we celebrate the love and affection we have for the special people in our lives, it seems only fitting that we include those who have served our country.
Senator Sanders is collecting greeting cards as well as NEW clothing items such as hats, gloves, scarves or socks, which he will present to elderly veterans in honor of Valentine's Day.
Please drop off donations by Monday, February 3, 2020 to Senator Sanders' District Office at 142-01 Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park or at his Satellite Office at 1931 Mott Avenue, Suite 305, in Far Rockaway.
If you have any questions, contact Senator Sanders' Office at 718-327-7017 or 718-523-3069.
