Good morning SVS community,

For the month of November, MIT Student Veteran Success is partnering with the New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV)<https://mit.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b9d9eabcfb553f3920db66519&id=a803bed928&e=a54d429d51> to host a clothing drive for veterans facing housing insecurity. In 2020, it was estimated that there were 836 veterans in Massachusetts experiencing homelessness<https://mit.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b9d9eabcfb553f3920db66519&id=58406cc1ef&e=a54d429d51>. The NECHV provides an accommodating and supportive community that immediately interrupts the downward cycle of hopelessness that can accompany housing insecurity. It provides a home, meals, resources, community connection, sense of identity, and a path to a better future.

To support NECHV’s mission and work, new clothing items (socks, underwear, t-shirts, sweatpants, and winter jackets) will be collected via donation bins on campus in 5-117, E19-711, and E52-101. If you would like to host a collection box in your office, please reach out and we will be more than happy to deliver a collection box to you!
Additionally, clothing and food items can be donated through the NECHV’s Amazon wish list<https://mit.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b9d9eabcfb553f3920db66519&id=2f85fa678b&e=a54d429d51>. If you choose to donate through the Amazon wish list, please include “MIT Veterans Winter Clothing Drive” in the notes section of the order form. Questions about the drive? Reach out to Liam Gale (liamgale at mit.edu<mailto:liamgale at mit.edu>), Program Administrator for Student Veteran Success, for more information.
