Lynbrook Brings New Meaning To ‘Community Of Caring’

LYNBROOK, NY — The Lynbrook School District lived by its theme of being a "Community of Caring" and hosted drive-by food and thank you card collection to help local families and those who are on the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus.
The drive was held on April 3 and 6 in the Lynbrook High School parking lot. Students, staff and families showed their support while practicing social distancing by driving through the parking lot and dropping off their donated items into bins.
The thank you cards that were collected will be presented to healthcare workers and first responders who have been working hard to fight the virus. The nonperishable food items that were donated will be distributed to local families in need to provide them with some staples for the upcoming holiday.
