Islip Handles Hunger

Congratulations to Scott B! And an outstanding effort by all. Upon hearing he was the winner, Scott has generously told us to keep the prize money for the kids!!And so that is what we will happily do. All proceeds from this group’s efforts and generosity will go directly to buying food for the backpacks for Islip kids in need. Many, many thanks to all of you, with an extra shout out to Scott!

Thank you to everyone who joined our community walk to support Islip Handles Hunger! The app had a few issues… and if we’re being honest, so did my walking. And I know that every person who signed up did so with generosity in their heart, and for that, we are truly grateful. Many of us have been in awe of the incredible numbers on the leaderboard—the miles, the pace, the time, and the dedication. It’s inspiring to watch. Thank you for supporting our mission to help feed local children. We appreciate every step you took with us. 💙 To the board leaders- on your long walks- think about what prize you want- the bike or the cash!! One will take longer to deliver than the other. I will follow up with what this group has been able to contribute once all donations are submitted. Reminder to all who joined- please remember to Venmo @hilary-breig. I have donations from 26 so far. Thank you all.

Five days to go! Thank you all for participating and donating to Islip Handles Hunger’s cause which is to send home blessings in a backpack to Islip students in need. Bags of food are discreetly distributed every week before those students leave for the weekend. The goal is that even the youngest can reach into the their backpack and help themselves to something nourishing. Thanks again, Islip Handles Hunger The Blessings in a Backpack’s Local Chapter.
