Assemblyman Edward C. Braunstein and the Law Offices of Ann-Margaret Carrozza are sponsoring our community’s 21st Annual Valentines for Vets gift drive.

“We are collecting donations of cards, candy (sugar-free a plus!), playing cards, puzzles, shaving cream, toothbrushes, toothpaste, or new clothing items such as pajamas, robes, slippers, and socks for the hospitalized and disabled veterans at the St. Albans VA Community Living Center and the New York State Veterans Home at St. Albans. I am proud to once again sponsor such a long-standing Northeast Queens community tradition,” said Braunstein.

“For the last 21 years, these donations have brightened the days of thousands of veterans by showing that we care about them and appreciate their sacrifices. It would mean a great deal to our hospitalized heroes if you would choose to be their valentine by donating to our drive,” said Carrozza.

The deadline to make donations is Wednesday, February 8, 2017. 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.

If you would like to drop off gifts, you can bring them to Assemblyman Braunstein’s office, which is located at 213-33 39th Avenue, Suite 238; the Law Offices of Ann-Margaret Carrozza at 213-38 40th Avenue; or Community Board 11 at 46-21 Little Neck Parkway.
