Hello all! This is a little unlike my other posts, but on here I can reach to a bit of a farther/more wide spread audience. In the season of giving, I wanted to give back to my community and be apart of a food drive. I am hosting a Friendsgiving dinner at my house and apart of the rules I established with my guests is that to receive a plate of dinner they must bring 5 items to donate to my chosen charity. Because of Covid-19, I am limited to the amount of people I can bring into my home, but I don't want that to be a reason that my donations are limited. I've spread the word to friends and family and now I'm reaching out to you all. I'm accepting virtual donations of any size, large or small, to purchase items for my charity. These items are a wide selection of things from baby care and hygiene products, to pet food and canned goods. Below you can find out more info about the charity, the food drive collection date, and what products I'll be purchasing with your donations! Spread this around to your friends and family. Let's see how far this post reaches!
Virtual Food Drive

Our goals are to improve food security for families, sponsor programs that help families achieve self-sufficiency, and educate the general public about the causes and consequences of hunger on Long Island.
