Senator Addabbo Drops Off First Round of Supplies to Elderly and Disabled Veterans in Need

Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., member of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs dropped off his office’s first round of supplies to the St. Albans Community Living Center at the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System. It is part of a perpetual clothing and supply drive he is conducting at each of his offices to collect clothing and other goods for veterans in need.

“This drop off is only the beginning, and it’s a wonderful feeling to give back to those who sacrificed so much for our country,” Addabbo said of his VA visit. “My office will continue this mission and give items to as many local veterans groups as we can.”

Requested items must be NEW: sneakers, slippers, sweatpants, pants and jeans, hoodies, bodywash, razors and shaving cream, washcloths (neutral colors), male t-shirts (5 pack), male socks (crew), male underwear (5 pack), bath towels (neutral colors). Clothing sizes should be medium, large, extra-large or 2XL.

Items can be dropped off during regular business hours, Monday through Fridays from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Senator Addabbo’s District Office, located at 84-16 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven or at his office in Middle Village, located at 66-85 73rd Place.

Once enough items are collected, they will be distributed to veteran organizations in the community and then collection will begin again. Items will be distributed as long as need exists.
