In 2023, E83 collected 3,700 items. The teams built on last year’s generosity and donated more than 7,153 items this year. The Standard Navy Valve Yard Group within E83 donated a majority of the items and took pride in helping lead this effort.

While the shipyard-wide drive ended last week, employees have until Friday, Aug. 16, to donate online. Place an order using YouGiveGoods. School supplies will help children in need throughout the area.
