Donate Winter Clothes, Food, Toiletries to Help the Homeless in Huntington

Here's how you can help keep the less fortunate warm in the winter.

Huntington residents, do you have any extra winter clothes, food and various items lying around?

As temperatures drop, the less fortunate have less means and opportunities to protect themselves during the harsh winter.

To help the homeless during these cold months, Legislator Steve Stern will be collecting winter clothes, food and toiletries from now until Jan. 8.
