Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Council Members Dina De Giorgio, Lee Seeman, Peter Zuckerman and Anna Kaplan, Town Clerk Wayne Wink and the Town’s Veterans Advisory Committee completed the 5th Annual Veterans Donation Drive on Saturday, Dec. 1 when over 200 boxes of new clothes, toiletries, and other supplies that were collected through the town-wide drive were transported to the Northport VA Medical Center.
The donations were collected at locations including Clinton G. Martin Park, Town Hall, Town Clerk’s Office, and Michael J. Tully Park Aquatic Activity Center, as well as many non-town operated facilities including St. Mary’s Schools, Chaminade High School, Port Washington Community Chest, Lakeville Estates Civic Association, Village of New Hyde Park, Hillside Library, PATV and the Mineola, Carle Place, Westbury, Roslyn, New Hyde Park and Herricks school districts.
“The Veterans Holiday Donation is a wonderful tradition here in North Hempstead, as the Veterans Advisory Committee and the entire community come together to collect donations for the Northport VA Medical Center,” said Bosworth. “We are so grateful for everyone’s generosity. It’s so important that we never forget our veterans and the tremendous sacrifices they have all made for this country.”
