North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, the Town Board, and the Town Veterans Advisory Committee today announced that the Town will host the 9th annual Veterans Donation Drive for the benefit of the Northport VA Hospital through Dec. 3. Donations will once more benefit the Hero Hunger Help Project.
“The Town is proud to host this donation drive for the VA again this year. We are committed to helping our veterans,” Supervisor DeSena said. “I invite residents to join in contributing to this excellent cause. This is a Town-wide collaborative effort, and a fantastic opportunity to give back to those in our community who have served our country.”
The Hero Hunger Help Project began in 2006 and helps veterans combat food insecurity. As part of this drive, the Town is collecting gift cards for grocery stores and pharmacies.
Those interested in donating may drop gift cards off at one of the following locations:
· North Hempstead Town Hall, Supervisor’s Office – 220 Plandome Road, Manhasset
· Clinton G. Martin Park, Front Desk – New Hyde Park Road & Marcus Avenue
· Michael J. Tully Park, Front Desk – 1801 Evergreen Avenue, New Hyde Park
· New Hyde Park Village Hall – 1420 New Hyde Park Road
In addition, for those who wish to donate but have no way to drop off gift cards, contact Rich DeMartino of the Veterans Advisor Committee at (516) 652-6865 and he will pick up the gift card.
