The New York State Veterans’ Home in St. Albans receives a collection of generous donations, thanks to the support of Queens Assemblyman Edward Braunstein.

Residents, schools and northeast Queens organizations donated puzzles, candy, clothing and more to Braunstein’s annual “Valentines for Vets” gift drive. Additionally, Bayside Girl Scout Troop #4279 made greeting cards for the local veterans.
