Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti's Food 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 second annual Food Drives. In partnership with local organizations, she is hosting multiple food drives through the month of December.

"As your representative, I'll always support Long Island families in any way that I can," said Sillitti. "We are once again hosting these four food drive events in coordination with valued community organizations to help support our neighbors in need and combat food insecurity locally. By working together, we can build a more caring, inclusive community for all our families this holiday season."

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