PETERSHAM — Special bins have again been placed at the Petersham Center School to collect donations of Boston team sweatshirts for the Sweats For Vets campaign. The 2019 goal is to collect 1,650 sweatshirts to reach homeless veterans in six New England States. 

New Boston sports-themed sweatshirts in sizes adult medium and larger are needed. The veterans layer up to stay warm.

The unwrapped sweatshirts must be dropped off at the school by Dec. 13. Bins are located outside the front office, or send them in with your student.

The sweatshirts will be wrapped by the Frontier Girls and and delivered during Christmas vacation week.

For more information, contact Alexis Harrington at alexisharrington804@yahoo.com, or visit Sweats4Vets.com.

The campaign is not a school-sponsored event.
