ConnexCares Announces Kickoff of Annual Holiday Give

ConnexCares is excited to announce its annual Holiday Give in support of Children in Placement, a local New Haven nonprofit advocating for abused and neglected children in the welfare and judicial systems. As the holiday season approaches, ConnexCares continues its commitment to the community and children’s health and wellbeing by collecting items needed to support Children in Placement’s programs.

This year, ConnexCares is collecting new and unwrapped boys’ and girls’ toys, books, clothing, and personal care items. ConnexCares welcomes donations of any kind, however, toys and items for young adolescents and teens would be most appreciated. Monetary donations are also welcome.

The Holiday Give collection will run from November 12 through December 10, 2024. Donation boxes can be found at all Connex branches in Branford, Guilford, Hamden, Meriden, Monroe, Orange, New Haven, and North Haven.
