King Kullen Grocery Co., Inc. (Bethpage, NY) has contributed $5,000 to United Way of Long Island’s UNITED TOGETHER: A Response Fund for COVID-19. The announcement was made by King Kullen Co-President Brian C. Cullen.

“Families across Long Island are experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19,” Cullen stated. “By donating to the UNITED TOGETHER Response Fund, King Kullen is able to help local families as the current health and economic crisis progresses. As always, we are proud to support United Way and its mission on behalf of our customers and our hard-working associates.”
