NFA Alumni, Educators, and Students Collect Donations for Hurricane Helene Relief
NFA alumni Paul Mongelli, Jr (class of 2002) and Kevin Eschbacher (class of 1999) are coordinating donations for victims of Hurricane Helene that will be driven down to the hardest hit areas. MSgt Christian Granda, Ms. Robyn Jowell, and our NFA Air Force JROTC are collecting donations at Newburgh Free Academy in collaboration with these efforts.
The following items are needed:
- Clothes: Men, women, children, and baby clothes of all sizes. Socks and underwear need to be new. Warmer clothing is needed most right now. Jackets especially!
