“The holidays are traditionally a time for charity and generosity,” said Assemblywoman Millman. “We must remember the people in our own neighborhoods who are struggling to make ends meet - many for the first time ever. All of these organizations do tremendous work providing for those in need and I am proud to be here to lend a hand and I hope that throughout this holiday season – and beyond – we all find a way to pitch in.”
