Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein (D-Bayside) and the Law Offices of Ann-Margaret Carrozza are sponsoring our community’s 18th Annual Valentines for Vets gift drive.

“We are collecting donations of cards, candy, toiletries, and new clothing items such as pajamas, robes, slippers and socks for the hospitalized and disabled veterans at the St. Albans Community Living Center of the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System and the New York State Veterans Home at St. Albans,” said Braunstein.

“For 18 years, these donations have helped brighten the day of hundreds of veterans by showing them that we care about them and appreciate their sacrifices. It would mean a great deal to our hospitalized and disabled heroes if you would choose to be their valentine by donating to our drive,” said Carrozza.

The deadline to make donations is Wednesday, February 12, 2014. If you are interested in participating and would like to receive further information, please contact Assemblyman Braunstein’s office at 718-357-3588 or the Law Offices of Ann-Margaret Carrozza at 718-224-4746.
