Recognizing that many residents are personally affected by the current eco nomic downturn, D’Amaro is asking those interested in donating to buy just one extra item each time they go food shopping and drop it off at his district office. All donations will go directly to Island Harvest, the Long Island-based organization that sup plies hundreds of community-based nonprofit organizations on Long Island with critical food support to help stem the advancing tide of hunger. Items will be collected through Oct. 8 and are being accepted Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 130 West Jericho Tpke, Huntington Station. “One in six Americans struggles with hunger each year,” said Legis lator D’Amaro. “That translates to an astonishing quarter-of-a-million Long Islanders who will go hungry this year which is why it is so critical to provide food and other essentials to affected community residents. For tunately, we have local not for profit organizations like Island Harvest to provide assistance to those in need.” Suggested items to donate include canned vegetables, meats, fish or fruit, soups, sauces, pasta, cereals, cry milk, almond or soy milk, baby formula, spices, coffee, tea, personal care items, nutritional beverages (such as Boost or Ensure) or personal hygiene items. For those community residents who would like to donate more, supermarket turkey coupons, canned hams or supermarket gift cards are all greatly appreciated.
