Suffolk Federal Credit Union recently hosted its 5th Annual Food Drive benefiting Long Island Cares, the Hauppauge-based food bank that provides emergency food assistance to more than 550 agencies across Long Island including food pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, day care centers, homeless shelters, veteran’s services and more. Through the generosity of its members, Suffolk Federal collected more than 1000 pounds of food donations.
“At Suffolk Federal, we’re about more than just banking, we’re about community. We believe that all Long Islanders deserve enough financial security to provide their families with basic necessities like food and shelter,” said William O’Brien, President & CEO, Suffolk Federal. “Partnering with Long Island Cares allows us to reach out to children and families suffering from hunger across Long Island.”
“We’re very grateful for the ongoing support from Suffolk Federal. The generosity of the credit union and their members enables us to make sure that families on Long Island that need emergency food receive it, especially at a time when more than 320,000 of our neighbors are impacted by hunger and food insecurity,” said Paule Pachter, Executive Director of Long Island Cares.”
