Beyond Van Gogh Offers Food Donation Deal For Free Admission

WESTBURY, NY — The immersive Beyond Van Gogh is teaming up with Long Island Cares for a food drive.

Before walking into the world of the 19th-century artist, visitors are encouraged to donate. Each group attending the exhibit from July 6 to August 6 will receive a free ticket good for one person by donating a bag to help those less fortunate.

"With school out of session, families relying on free or reduced breakfast and lunch now have to source their food elsewhere to meet the growing needs at home," Long Island Cares' William Gonyou said.

Among the items sought include breakfast cereals, boxed or bagged pasta, canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter and baby supplies.

"Food Drives, such as this, are pertinent to not only ending summer hunger, but food insecurity as a whole. The food is needed now more than ever," Gonyou said. "It is inspiring when organizations, companies and individuals recognize the need and take a stand. We are eternally grateful for the team of Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience for joining us in our vision of a hunger-free Long Island."

Beyond Van Gogh is located at the Samanea Mall on Old Country Road.

Editor's Note: As a clarification to the original version, one free admission is being given out per group, not for each person who attends.
