Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti's Food & Toy Drives

As the holiday season gets underway, Assemblywoman Sillitti invites residents to join her in the spirit of giving back to our communities by participating in her third annual Food & Toy Drives. In partnership with local organizations, she is hosting multiple food drives through the month of December.

“As your representative, I’m glad to once again join our community partners to support Long Island families this holiday season,” said Sillitti. “These food and toy drive events in coordination with valued community organizations are a great opportunity for us to support our neighbors in need, combat food insecurity, and provide some extra gifts to children this holiday season. By working together, we can build a more caring community for all.”

Please be mindful of the expiration dates on donated food and goods. Gift cards cannot be accepted.
