Handmade Valentines: Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel pictured with local students last January as they proudly showed off their beautiful valentines that they made for veterans.
With your generosity, last year’s program was a record breaking success. We were able to deliver truckloads of incredible merchandise and beautiful handmade cards to the Veterans Home in Stonybrook and the Veterans Hospital in Northport.
“There is no better way to show our veterans how much we appreciate the sacrifices they have made than to show them that they are not forgotten,” said Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, a member of the Assembly’s Veterans Affairs Committee.
Suggested items include handmade valentines, non-slip socks, men’s winter hats, gloves, scarves, patriotic caps or t-shirts, disposable cameras, sweatpants and sweatshirts, bathrobes and toiletries. Only new items will be accepted.
Please bring donations to Assemblywoman Schimel’s District Office located at 45 North Station Plaza, Suite 203 in Great Neck.
