Toy Drive Exceeds Expectations
The Community Service Committee would like to thank everyone for their generous donation to our Third Annual Toy Drive. It was a huge success. We were able to bring cheer this holiday season into the homes of 3 families from Lee Avenue School.
The principal and nurse at Lee Avenue School was taken aback by the amount of gifts that we brought. They couldn’t thank us enough.
Happy Holidays!!!!!
Food Drive Helps 2 Families
The Community Service Committee would like to thank everyone for their generous donation to our Thanksgiving Food Drive. It was a huge success.

We also would like to thank our commercial supporters Ferreira Foodtown for their generous donation of four $25.00 gift certificates and Hicksville T-Mobile for donating 2 cases of cereal.
