GIVING TUESDAY We kept Giving Tuesday going by donating to a different organization each week throughout December. • We stopped by Little Shelter to drop off some much needed blankets and a $500 donation! • We met up with our very own Tony Donnino to give him a check for $500 to do some extra shopping and help make the holiday season a little bit brighter for kids living in foster care through Hoops of Northport. This local organization donates toys and clothes to Little Flower Children and Family Services. • We stopped by Angela’s House to drop off breakfast for their incredible staff and a $500 donation. Angela’s House is an amazing organization that assists medically fragile children and their families, and we’re honored to be able to help support them! • We donated to L.I. Against Domestic Violence, a local organization that helps adults and children escape domestic violence situations and build new lives.
