Winter Donation Drive – First Drop Off

Spreading warmth and kindness this winter. Our department’s donation drive was a huge success, thanks to your generous contributions! Officer Barrett joined us to collect the donations, ensuring they reach those who need it most. Together, we’re making a difference one act of kindness at a time.

At our first drop off we were able to donate:

  • 2 coats
  • 81 pairs of gloves
  • 66 pairs of socks
  • 41 hats
  • 110 thermal blankets
  • 24 pack of Ensures
  • 24 pack of Body Wipes

We are looking to beat the first drop-off numbers! We can’t do it without you.

Our second drop- off will be on 12/21 to Officer Barrett, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. For the second round, we are concentrating on blankets (not thermal), food items, and cash donations so we can purchase one-day bus passes and $5.00 food gift cards as suggested by Officer Barrett. We thank you in advance for any donations you give. Visit here to learn what we are specifically looking for: mph.uconn.edu/donate/
