Located in Downtown Boston and offering services throughout the region, NECHV supports Veterans with innovative services that enable success, meaningful employment, and dignified independent living. Clothing can include underwear (highest need!), coats, shoes and boots, sweatpants, jeans, work clothes, sweatshirts, t-shirts, thermal long sleeves, hats, gloves, and scarves in a variety of sizes (no socks!). Toiletries can include toothbrush and full size toothpaste, hair brushes, full size soaps and shampoos, feminine care items, and razors or shaving kits. 

These books will be donated to the Boston Public Library. For every 15 books donated, CBCU will purchase a copy of "Girl Running," a children's story of Bobbi Gibb who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, and donate it to a local youth running group!

Patrons are encouraged to bring unopened spices and dried herbs to their local participating branch. With the help of the Greater Boston Food Bank, these donations will be distributed to families and individuals across Boston and Eastern Massachusetts. Varied combinations of spices are what differentiate cultural cuisines; donating spices helps people maintain their cultural identity and family traditions, encourages creative and nutritious cooking, and celebrates the abundant cultural makeup of our region.
