17. Holiday Gift Program
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!
