Reworld(TM) Supports Island Harvest at Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive
BETHPAGE, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Reworld(TM) 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(TM)," said Maureen Early, Lead Community Relations Specialist at Reworld(TM). "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(TM) 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.
