CT Proud Boys say they ran coat drive; shelters say no thanks
FacebookTwitterEmail
A group identifying themselves as members of the Connecticut chapter of the Proud Boys have said they did a coat drive, but the homeless shelters to which they claim they donated say they wouldn t have accepted donations from the group.
“We haven’t accepted any coats this season. We have a huge supply of really wonderful coats,” said Kandyce Aust, director of development at the South Park Inn, a Hartford-based homeless shelter. “We wouldn t take anything from them if they called us. There’s no one that’s donated so far this year that I haven’t personally known.”
