Members of the Board of Directors of Islip Food for Hope, supervisor Angie Carpenter and the Islip Town Board came together to pack more than 1,000 “Boxes of Love” for distribution to organizations that provide relief from food insecurity throughout the Town of Islip. The boxes contain all the necessary side dishes to create a traditional Thanksgiving holiday meal. In addition, Islip Food for Hope will also distribute nearly 1,000 turkeys.
“The annual supervisor’s breakfast raises money to provide Islip Food for Hope with the necessary resources to ensure that everyone has a Thanksgiving meal,” said Carpenter. Each year, thanks to the generous donations from local business and organizations, Islip Food for Hope has grown and exceeded its goal.
“We are truly grateful to our town employees, local businesses and our community groups for their tremendous support, and for doing their part in eliminating food insecurity in our town,” said Carpenter.
