Canned Good Night Action Month this upcoming September, hoping to encourage hundreds of people to donate cans of food that will be then donated to the Island Harvest. Lauren Fink, Event Coordinator at United Skates states, “We have thousands of families visit us each and every year from the surrounding community. We understand the needs of our community, and we want to give back in a big way. We are excited about the event we will be hosting on September 2nd and September 3rd.” Normal admission to the session is $10 for children, and $11 for adults. Anyone who comes down for any of those two sessions with two canned goods will be admitted FREE of charge! “Our core customer is families, this event is a
great way for families to give back together while also spending the evening participating in a fun, healthy family activity.” United Skates of America is located at 1276 Hicksville Road in Seaford.
