NEW ROCHELLE, NY (12/20/2011)(readMedia)-- The College of New Rochelle Athletic team members, the Blue Angels, collected gifts from the College Community to give children in New Rochelle.

The Blue Angels delivered 239 gifts to New Rochelle's Salvation Army, Providence House, and New Rochelle Day Nursery on December 19, 2011.

The gifts were collected using an Advent Giving Tree, which was adorned with paper ornaments describing a particular gift for a child ages 3 to 10. CNR Community members would take a paper ornament and donate the gift described.

The Advent Giving Trees collection was coordinated by Helen Wolf, Director of the Office of Campus Ministry and her staff.
