Yesterday, February 9, 2009 UlsterCorps volunteers picked up over 800 youth winter jackets from a warehouse in NJ and delivered them to service agencies throughout Ulster County including Family, Planned Parenthood, Rural & Migrant Ministry, Harbor Program of MHA in Ulster, River Haven, and the Saugerties & Kingston Boys & Girls Clubs. Thank you so much to Matthew Bruderman, Ed Arnold & Judy Ward of Arctix Clothing & Alpha 6 Distributions, LLC, for your incredibly generous donation, and to Ilene, Paula, Ruth, Max, Rik, Beth, Nancy, Will & Paavo for being a part of this great day and helping to bring a new, warm coat to so many children.

Wonderful to see you all came together to make this happen. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
