Greene Early College partnered with Greene Lamp Community Action 9/11 Day of Service Grant’s initiative to collect needed personal items for homeless shelters and  veterans. 

Reaching out to local schools and private entities, Greene Lamp set up donation boxes.  Realizing the need,  GEC students excitedly donated  over 900 items.  These items included personal hygiene items and winter warmth items such as gloves, socks, headgear, and blankets. 

Greene Lamp will distribute the items to different local agencies such as the Senior Center, Veteran Affairs, shelters, and Department of Social Service for women and children.
