response to the withdrawal of New Haven’s No Freeze Policy and a lack of community
closets for homeless individuals, the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action
Project (YHHAP) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) will be sponsoring
the NO FREEZE PROJECT- a clothing drive for New Haven’s homeless
population at the most crucial time of the year. Blue collection drums will be
located in all the colleges for students to leave
shirts/pants/sweaters/hats/coats, to be donated through Columbus House homeless
shelter and the Social Integration Program. Please consider giving away any article
of clothing you no longer wear but is still in relatively good
condition—it’s an excellent way to reduce waste in addition to
providing a critical community service during the winter months. Members of the
Yale community are also encouraged to give monetary donations, through
YHHAP’s fundraising website, to ensure that homeless individuals receive
more essential, less common articles of clothing. Just $8 will support a hat
and gloves, $12 a sweatshirt, and $35 a jacket. Donate online here. Please direct
any questions to YHHAP, <a href="mailto:yhhap1@gmail.com">yhhap1@gmail.com</a>,
or MSA, <a href="mailto:yalemsa@gmail.com">yalemsa@gmail.com</a>, and thank you
