Underprivileged Northport-Area Family to Get Special Thanksgiving Donation

Everyone deserves a plentiful Thanksgiving, even the ones who can’t afford it.

The Northport Police Department partnered with the Northport Stop & Shop to present a Thanksgiving donation on Monday to a local food pantry that looks to help the less fortunate.

The donation to the Northport-East Northport Ecumenical Lay Council Food Pantry will be used to provide an underprivileged family in the community with a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the fixings.

Northport Police Chief Bill Ricca and Pat DeRise, the manager of Stop & Shop, presented the donation to Sally Stark, the director of the food pantry, at Northport Village Hall, located at 224 Main St., on Monday afternoon.
