BETHPAGE, NEW YORK (December 6, 2024)— Reworld™ employees recently joined forces with the Island Harvest Food Bank at the annual Bethpage Turkey Drive, Long Island’s largest one-day food drive, held at Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s headquarters. The event, now in its 16th year, has become a cornerstone of community support for food-insecure Long Islanders, providing Thanksgiving meals to families in need.
“Giving back to the community is at the heart of our mission at Reworld™,” said Maureen Early, Lead Community Relations Specialist at Reworld™. “We are proud to support Island Harvest’s critical efforts to combat food insecurity on Long Island and to be part of an event that ensures families can gather around a warm meal this Thanksgiving.”
This year’s Turkey Drive encouraged donations of frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, and monetary contributions to help Island Harvest distribute meals to its network of over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and feeding programs. Food insecurity remains a growing concern across Long Island. Feeding America’s most recent data highlights that 221,190 Long Islanders, including 44,780 children, are currently facing hunger. Island Harvest anticipates distributing a record 20 million pounds of food in Nassau and Suffolk counties this year, a testament to the rising need for support.
Reworld™ donated funds to help support Island Harvest’s efforts, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and community well-being. Contributions like these are vital as food banks face increasing demand ahead of the holiday season.
