Ocean Aiello, Community Engagement Coordinator at The Haven, talked about our donation drive benefitting The Haven, a multi-resource day shelter, that strives to end homelessness in the greater Charlottesville Community whose doors are open to any and everyone no matter their circumstances. The donation drive is Saturday April 9th at the Brooks Family YMCA from 10am – 12pm.

Click here to see what you can donate (and what not to!) And anyone who donates can enter to win a prize pack of assorted vinyl!

If you’re not able to make it out to the Donation Drive this Saturday April 9th, you can visit Kindness Cafe all this week for their donation drop off box.
