SELFLESS STUDENTS
One of the largest Key Clubs around – with some 100 members – is located at North Haven High School. And the club, led by Hannah Auddino, has been busy giving back to the community. Recently, the club held a food drive for the needy, supported a road race in Wallingford, and raked leaves for veterans. The club has a busy December planned, as well.
Community comes through for vets shelter
NHPD surpasses fundraising goal North Haven police officers participated in No-Shave November, and as of Dec. 1, had raised $6,280 for the Connecticut Cancer Foundation’s Patient Assistance Program.
State Rep. Dave Yaccarino (R87), members of the North Haven community and student volunteers from Choate Rosemary Hall gathered Saturday, Dec. 4 to sort through hundreds of donated items for the Columbus House, a shelter for veterans in Wallingford.
”Thank you to all the officers who participated in No Shave CT 2021 and all those who donated and supported us,” the NHFD wrote in a Facebook post. “Our goal of raising $5,000 has been met … You can still donate to this great cause!”
Donations of new jackets and coats, thermals, hats, socks and gloves easily filled 40 large boxes.
