A homemade touch is being added to a donations drive as staff members at Mount Sinai’s Corporate Services Center take time after work to knit and crochet hats and scarves for the homeless. Their effort is part of “Care for the Homeless,” a project sponsored by the Corporate Services Center chapter of HOLA, the Heritage of Latino Alliance Employee Resource Group, in partnership with the nonprofit Bowery Residents’ Committee (BRC).
HOLA members will deliver donations—including soap, shampoo, and lotion, along with apparel like gloves, socks, and the new hats and scarves—to the BRC in mid-February.
“We are excited about this project and hope to make someone’s winter a little warmer,” says Francis Pabon, Director, Central Billing Office, who is Co-Chair of HOLA, along with Shawn Lee, Associate Director, Central Billing Office.
