Island Harvest Feeds Needy Children At WI Community Center
Long Island food bank will distribute free lunch to West Islip children in need.
Island Harvest Food Bank is distributing free lunches to children in need at the West Islip Community Center throughout the summer.
The meals are designed to replace the free or discounted lunches that kids receive during the school year.
“It is important that struggling families on Long Island know about this vital program so that their children can focus on summer and all the fun it brings, rather than the burden of hunger," said Randi Shubin Dresner, Island Harvest president and CEO.
Children 18 years old and younger are eligible for the program, which operates in more than 20 sites throughout Suffolk and Nassau Counties.
For more information call Allison Puglia, Vice President for Programs & Agency Relations, (631) 873-4775, ext. 204, or allison@islandharvest.org.
The West Islip Community Center is located at 90 Higbie Lane.
