Fundraising Event For Local Agricultural Workers to Take Place Thursday

Long Island Sustainable Winegrowing, Barbara Shinn and David Page of Shinn Estate Vineyards, and Jonathan Russo will be hosting a fundraiser in support of Long Island agricultural workers on Thursday.

The event will begin at 7 p.m. at Martha Clara Vineyards on 6025 Sound Avenue in Riverhead.

The event will support the HRHCare Foundation and the Agricultural Health Fund with a goal of raising $100,000 to provide quality health care services for Long Island’s agricultural workers and their families, many of whom work to ensure the success of Long Island’s iconic wine industry yet lack access to quality health care.

All the proceeds from this event will go to a “Day of Health” for agricultural workers and their families, during which HRHCare will perform a health assessment and connect these Long Islanders to vital health care services.
