GLEN COVE, NY — A backpack giveaway will be held in Glen Cove this month to help local families prepare for the upcoming school year.
Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton has partnered with the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association and the Glen Cove City School District to host the event on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 11 a.m.
The giveaway will take place outside Landing Elementary School, located at 60 McLoughlin St. in Glen Cove.
The Nassau PBA will provide the backpacks and school supplies that will be distributed during the event.
"Back-to-school season is such an exciting time for families, but I know how it can be financially challenging for families in Glen Cove and communities across our County," DeRiggi-Whitton said.
