“No one should ever have to question where their next meal will come from or if they can afford basic hygiene products,” said Ra. “I am so pleased with the amount we have collected to help families in need on Long Island. I thank my neighbors for their generosity in supporting our drive. I look forward to continuing to work with Long Island Cares and King Kullen to host this food drive for many years to come.”
