With recent increases in COVID-19 cases, businesses still opening slowly, and many still working and going to school remotely - the need for food is still great 1 year later!
Senator Kevin Thomas is partnering with Long Island Cares to help Long Islanders in need.
Lond Island Cares is working hard to assist our neighbors in need with critical food and resources during this public health emergency. You can help support their work by joining Senator Kevin Thomas in this virtual food drive.
