We happy to once again support the National Council of Jewish Women for their Back 2 School project. This event allows children to “shop” for new clothing (winter coats, sneakers, socks, underwear, pants, tops, pjs, school supplies, and toiletries) and goods at no cost to them. A child who has new clothing and new school supplies is well equipped to begin the school year. This often translates into a more positive approach to the learning experience and increases the chances the child will consistently and regularly attend school. The aim is to educate, empower, improve school attendance, and improve the quality of life for children and families.

We were happy to once again support National Mill Dog Rescue with Grant funds to contribute towards their purchase of a rescue transport van. NMDR rescues dogs from commercial breeding facilities, commonly known as puppy mills, throughout the US. Puppy mills are facilities where dogs are housed in small cages twenty-four hours a day, with minimal human contact or veterinary care, and are forced to breed their whole lives until they are physically incapable. At that time, many commercial breeding dogs are destroyed, others are sold at dog auctions, but fortunately, growing numbers are willingly released to NMDR.

We were happy to supply Grant funds to Food Bank of Central New York, based out of Syracuse. Our funds will contribute to the purchase of snow removal equipment. Food Bank of Central New York provides door to door delivery of nutritious food, offering convenience and increased access for over 350 community partners. They also pick up donations of perishable foods daily from area retailers.

We were happy to fulfill a Grant request for Comfort Food Community, based out of Greenwich, NY. Our funds will be used to support their overall project goal of enhancing food security and availability, strengthen disaster preparedness and response and to ensure the operational effectiveness of their Food & Farm Hub.

We were happy to support CancerCare with Grant funds. CancerCare Long Island provides services for local Long Island cancer patients, post-treatment survivors, caregivers and the bereaved. Their services include the Hopeline, individual counseling, resource navigation sessions, wig clinics, Coping Circle workshops and community programs.
