RONKONKOMA, NY — Station Yards' 3rd annual turkey drive, benefiting Long Island Cares, The Harry Chapin Regional Food Bank, will be held on Wednesday, the organizers said.
It will run from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 9 Hawkins Ave.
Station Yards is partnering with MacArthur Business Alliance and the Ronkonkoma Chamber of Commerce for the event.
The community can drop off frozen turkeys and unopened, nonperishable holiday staples without glass containers throughout the day, or donate online at stationyardsli.com.
The need remains as urgent as ever.
More than 250,000 Long Islanders are food insecure. Last year, the community helped Station Yards collect 3,678 pounds of frozen turkeys, 2,020 pounds of nonperishable food, and $22,145 in monetary donations, providing 18,051 meals to Long Island families.
