ATHLETICS:
 
Do you have gently used sporting equipment that you no longer need?  Equipment Assist is a local program run by 3 high school sophomores who are collecting items to donate to the Hartford Police Athletic League (PAL), which benefits underserved youth.  From now through April 24th, we are collecting all types of gently used sports equipment including cleats, sneakers, ice and hockey skates, baseball gloves, balls, helmets, shin guards, etc.  All sizes are acceptable.  A bin is located between the two showcases in the main lobby.  We can also arrange to pick up bigger items such as nets, hockey sticks, baseball bats and lacrosse sticks.  If you have questions, or to schedule a pick up, please email to: [email protected]
