26. HOLIDAY GIFT PROGRAM NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
For the last 8 years, through the generosity of university employees and students, we have been able to provide holiday gifts to over 3000 children who live near or below the poverty level in Suffolk County. The hidden nature of hunger and poverty makes us less aware of its prevalence in the suburbs but hunger does exist here. Seven years ago, we established a pantry in Pt. Jefferson to help families year round as they struggle to provide nutritionally balanced meals for their families. We now provide for 600 households a month, translating into over 5000 individuals (half of whom are children under the age of 14). If you would be interested in providing either a gift of clothing or a toy to one of these children during this year's Holiday Gift program, please contact me via e-mail (mbell@notes.cc.sunysb.edu) and I'll send you details. THANK YOU!
