Personal items were collected for South Park Inn during the month of November at the West Hartford Senior Center.

Senior Center Director Gina Marino said, “The community and member response to our collection was amazing. We were thrilled to present Dick Lusso, Volunteer Coordinator of South Park Inn, with over 2,300 cubic feet of personal items and handmade scarves, hats and blankets on Nov. 30.”  The Senior Center plans to continue collecting items for South Park Inn throughout the year.

The Center is grateful to everyone who participated in the collection for South Park Inn. To learn more about the services offered to help homeless people in Hartford, visit www.southparkinn.org .
