The Manhasset Public Schools successfully collected non perishable foods for the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive for the INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network). The drive started Nov. 1 and ended Nov. 15. The schools collected over 2,000 pounds of food and over $500.00 in cash.
The students helped the hungry and homeless on Long Island. The INN packages food cartons for the needy containing all the food including a frozen turkey to prepare a Thanksgiving meal at home.
The INN, a Long Island organization, has fed those in need since 1983. The INN is the largest soup kitchen on Long Island and feeds over 300 meals a day. The INN addresses the issues of hunger and homelessness on Long Island by providing food, shelter, clothing and supporting services in a dignified and respectful manner for those who seek their help.
Many thanks for the Manhasset Community and Schools for supporting The INN.
