In a continuing effort to support the youth of Long Island communities, Long Island Reach, a multi-service agency providing a broad range of rehabilitative and treatment services to youth and their families, donated 32 backpacks to 32 families in need.
The backpacks, which were filled with various age and grade-appropriate supplies, were delivered directly to families in need in the towns of Long Beach, Franklin Square and Port Washington as well as to Long Island Reach’s teen pregnancy alternative school program.
Long Island Reach looks to enrich the lives of children across Long Island and strives to make a difference in any way they can.
The contribution efforts coordinated by Long Island Reach’s board members, staff, and community residents occurred in September for the new school year. Each of the recipient families and children were grateful for the help during these difficult and challenging times.
