The Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers (MHACY) will be distributing linens and blankets to its residents thanks to a partnership between the United Way of Westchester and Putnam, Good360 and the city of Yonkers.
Four pallets of linens were recently delivered to MHACY with the assistance of the Yonkers Police Department and the Department of Public Works, which coordinated the delivery and transported the goods.
The linens were received as part of a partnership that United Way has with Good360, which acts as a clearinghouse for corporate donations. As a Good360 nonprofit partner, United Way has access to highly needed, donated goods that Good360 sources from hundreds of socially responsible corporate donors such as Brooklinen.
Wilson Kimball, MHACY president and CEO, said that linens are essential items, but the cost is out of reach for many working families.
Tom Gabriel, president and CEO of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam, said that the United Way has been able to provide thousands of local residents with support through the Good360 program that was especially needed during the pandemic.
The Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers is the largest provider of affordable housing in the city of Yonkers and the second largest public housing authority in New York state.
