Looking Toward The Future Announcing FSL’s 90th Anniversary

In 1926, a small group of “Service League” volunteers began a grassroots effort to help the most vulnerable of their North Shore neighbors. They donated food, clothing, furniture, and holiday baskets, sustaining many through the Depression and WWII. As the years passed, and with your help, FSL has been able to build on this foundation of service by providing programs for people across Long Island. Today, FSL’s services have adapted to the evolving challenges faced by Long Island children and families of the 21st century. As we celebrate our 90th anniversary in 2016, we have been privileged to tend to the health and well-being of so many and we remember the efforts extended by our dedicated volunteers and staff over the years. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to the thousands of individuals, corporations, and community members for the help and support they have given to enhance the wellbeing of vulnerable families.

Thank You For Lending A Hand To Support The Programs That Help Long Island Children Thrive Growing up in a stable family environment provides children with a sense of security and the knowledge that they can overcome the challenges presented by everyday life. Among the best ways to ensure that every child is given a good start in life is by providing high quality early childhood education. Professional guidance and counseling resources, along with supervised recreational programs, can support all children, especially those who may be most at risk.
