America 250 Charity Drive Collects items for Wellspring

ALBANY, NEW YORK - In recognition of America's 250^th birthday the Department of Justice and the United States Attorney's Office is proud to support Wellspring through a gift-in-kind donation drive.

First Assistant United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III led the effort recognizing the important partnership Wellspring brings to United States Attorney's Office in support of victims.

Wellspring is the domestic violence and sexual assault services resource for Saratoga County residents and the sexual assault services resource for Washington County residents. Wellspring's mission is to support survivors and engage our community to end relationship and sexual abuse.

In recognition of this event First Assistant U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III said "As our office celebrates the 250^th birthday of our nation, we are reminded that one group alone cannot do it all. We are proud to collect and donate these items in support of our partners' mission and to support victims. Their partnership and resources are a vital piece of the puzzle during the often long and complex investigations and prosecutions surrounding their work."

This effort was made possible through the generosity and participation of employees of the Albany and Plattsburg United States Attorney's Offices, as part of the ongoing Freedom 250 celebration. Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. It honors the enduring ideals of Liberty, Service, and Civic Responsibility.
