Assemblymember Harry B. Bronson is Hosting a "Holiday Helping Hand Drive" for Children in Need

November 25, 2013

Assemblymember Harry B. Bronson (D-Rochester/Chili/Henrietta) announced he will be partnering with local senior centers to host a "Holiday Helping Hand Drive" to help children in need. The program will provide elementary school children with the school supplies they need to continue having a productive learning experience for the rest of the school year.

"At a time when schooling is becoming more rigorous and demanding on children, it is important that they have everything they need to succeed." Assemblyman Bronson said. "As the community rallies around this great cause, I think we will do a lot of good for the education of local kids. This is a great opportunity for one generation to lend a helping hand to another."

Assemblymember Bronson announced the collections will take place from Dec. 2-20 at four local drop-off points:

Assemblymember Bronson will be collecting paper, pencils, notebooks, folders, crayons, and other supplies, including new gloves, scarves and hats for kids in need of warm clothes.

If you have any questions about the drive, or any other community issue, you can call Assemblymember Bronson's office at 244-5255, or send an email to BronsonH@assembly.state.ny.us.
