Curran Also Announces Veteran Picnic to Engage Younger Vets proud to soon be able to offer the specialized help that they need to get them through tough times,” said County Executive Curran.

“Veterans experience unique behavioral and mental health issues and often need unique support to conquer them. With the new crisis counselor service, we will be able to provide the help our Vets need. County Executive Curran has once again fought to do the right thing for Nassau’s Vets and we thank her for her ongoing support,” said Ralph Esposito, Director of Nassau County Veterans Service Agency.

The service will be free for all Veterans but will target Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans, who are 2.5x more likely to die by suicide.

The crisis counselors will be licensed social workers specializing in veterans / military distress and will offer in person crisis intervention services, care coordination support and linkage to peer support services.

These crisis counselors

will be trained to support veterans combatting mental illnesses, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorder and emotional distress. The program is being developed by the Mental Health Association of Nassau County and will be supported by American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding.

Curran also announced a Veterans picnic, open to Veterans and their families, on October 23 from 11am to 2pm at Eisenhower Park.

The event will have free food and entertainment as well as an array of support services available to Veterans in Nassau County.

County Executive Curran also reminded the public of existing VSA programs, such as the Vet2Vet program. Vet2Vet is a nationally modeled program that aims to reduce Veteran Suicide and substance abuse through peer support.

“Our Veterans Service Agency does a fantastic job supporting the brave men and women who have served our country and the acquisition of specialized crisis counselors will only expand on what they offer to our Veterans.

Assemblyman Durso Attends “Assembly Assemble Day” At Island Harvest Food Bank

SOUTH FARMINGDALE - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 20, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

New York State Assemblyman Michael Durso was joined by his Assembly colleagues at Island Harvest Food Bank for “Assembly Assemble Day” to help fill boxes with nutritious food which will be delivered to communities across Long Island.

“I want to thank Island Harvest, their incredible staff, and all of our Long Island assembly members who took part today in Assembly Assemble Day. It was great to see so many people come together for a common cause and do our small part to help fight food

insecurity here on Long Island,” said Assemblyman Durso. “Over the past 24 months food insecurity has skyrocketed due to the pandemic; affecting people of all political backgrounds, religions, and races.

By working together to fight hunger we are making a difference for a neighbor, family member, friend, or a coworker who needs to put food on their table. I want to especially thank Island Harvest President & CEO Randi Shubin Dresner for her tireless efforts and dedication to ending hunger on Long Island.”

“We are grateful to Assemblyman Durso and the Democratic and Republican members of Long Island’s assembly delegation for taking the time out of their busy schedules to lend a hand at our warehouse today,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank.

“Hunger knows no barriers when it comes to partisan politics, and working sideby-side, we can truly make a difference in addressing some of society’s most pressing issues, including hunger and poverty in our local communities.”

Long Islanders Come Out in Force To Support PSEG Long Island’s Power To Feed Long Island Initiative

PSEG LONG ISLAND’S POWER TO FEED LONG ISLAND INITIATIVE John Keating, manager of Economic Development at PSEG Long Island announces PSEG Long Island Island’s Power to Feed Long Island initiative exceeded its goal, raising the equivalent of 21,944 meals – nearly a thousand more meals than its 21,000meal objective.

PSEG Long Island’s Power to Feed Long Island initiative has exceeded its goal, raising the equivalent of 21,944 meals – nearly a thousand more meals than its 21,000-meal objective.

Three months and six food drives yielded 10,106 pounds of food and supplies, plus nearly $2,200 in cash donations, and online donations totaling more than $4,000.

Representatives from Island Harvest Food Bank, small business owners, community volunteers and Girl Scouts who contributed to the initiative, the company announced the results of its Power to Feed Long Island initiative at the food bank’s Melville warehouse.

“We are proud that our community came out to support each other and fight hunger through our Power to Feed Long Island food drives,” said Daniel Eichhorn, president and COO of PSEG Long Island, and Island Harvest Food Bank board member. “We set a lofty goal in July, and Long Islanders showed up in force with shopping carts and trunks full of food and supplies to meet the challenge. We crushed our goal because helping each other is something Long Islanders do, and it’s something our employees do. We’re glad we were able

to create the venue to make it happen.”

“We are incredibly grateful to PSEG Long Island for their longstanding commitment to addressing the issue of hunger and food insecurity on Long Island,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “Thanks to their concern and generosity and the success of the Power to Feed Long Island initiative, countless Long Islanders struggling to feed their families will be able to rest easier knowing that they will have access to something as basic as food.”

Power to Feed Long Island was created to restock the shelves at Island Harvest to enable the nonprofit to provide community members in need with nutritious food, personal care items, baby essentials and pet supplies.

Food drive events were held at six supermarkets ─ King Kullen in Garden City Park/New Hyde Park and Shirley; Stew Leonard’s in East Meadow; and Stop & Shop in Huntington Station, Islandia and Massapequa ─ from July through September, when vacations cause a decrease in donations, and collection drives are not top of mind.

It is also a time when children out of school are not receiving daily free or

reduced-cost breakfast and lunch, which puts a heavier burden on their families.

“Stop & Shop is proud to continue its committed support of the efforts of Island Harvest to address food insecurity across Nassau and Suffolk counties,” said Stefanie Shuman, community relations manager, Stop & Shop.

“Power to Feed Long Island allowed our customers to take part in food drives held at Stop & Shop stores and help their neighbors in need.

It’s important that we all come together during these very difficult times,” she added.

Along with the economic hardships caused by the pandemic, there is a significant strain on the supplemental food supply chain.

The collection drives continued through September, Hunger Action Month.

More than a dozen PSEG Long Island employees participated in the food drives as Power to Feed Long Island ambassadors. They agree that safely getting back out into the community to help their neighbors was a rewarding experience.

How to Make an Impact This National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

(StatePoint) October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual opportunity to spend your dollars on products and services that benefit breast cancer advocacy, research and patient care services.

However, experts say that the clutter of pink products on store shelves and online can make savvy shopping a challenge.

“Determining if a given product sold during October actually benefits a breast cancer charity, is not always easy,” says Sarah Rosales, vice president of Corporate Partnerships at Susan G. Komen, the world’s leading breast cancer organization.

One way to ensure that your purchases are making the impact you think they will is by shopping with Komen’s Annual Live Pink program. This year, Komen has partnered with more than 25 companies, and the lineup of products and services available includes

everything from specially designed clothing and skin care products, to bagels and bikes. By shopping with the brands in the Live Pink portfolio during October, you can help fund research and care services that support people through their breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond. Program details are transparent on the Live Pink site. To learn more and to shop, visit, komen. org/livepink.

For other purchases you make this National Breast Cancer Awareness Month that make charitable claims, Susan G. Komen recommends asking the following questions:

Town’s Zombie Home Registry Now Live

You should be made aware where your money is going and what charitable programs your purchase will support. Funds raised to benefit Komen, for example, go to support the organization’s advocacy for breast cancer patients, investments in research and a number of direct patient care services.

3. How is the program structured?

What percentage or exact amount of the proceeds will go to the charity? Will the company be making a minimum or maximum donation to the charity?

TOWN’S ZOMBIE HOME REGISTRY NOW LIVE - Town Councilman Lou Imbroto recently announced the launch of a new online initiative that allows residents to report abandoned/zombie properties within their neighborhood located in the unincorporated areas of the Town of Oyster Bay. To report an abandoned property, please visit www.oysterbaytown.com/abandoned-property.

Town Councilman Lou Imbroto recently announced the launch of a new online initiative that allows residents to report abandoned/zombie properties within their neighborhood located in the unincorporated areas of the Town of Oyster Bay. This new Abandoned Property/Zombie Home Registry assists the Town of Oyster Bay in combatting eyesores in local communities.

“Protecting our suburban quality of life is a top priority for the Town Board,” said Councilman Imbroto, who serves as Chairman of the Town’s Quality of Life Taskforce. “No community should be forced to deal with unmaintained and dangerous eyesores that serve as havens for squatters, rodents and other such problems.

The Abandoned Property/ Zombie Home Registry will help us continue to make headway with cleaning

up these eyesores, and we encourage residents to serve as our eyes and ears by using this reporting system to help.”

Zombie homes are properties that have been vacant for an extended period of time and are often owned by a bank, trust, or mortgage company. Code Enforcement Bureau from the Department of Planning of Development continually monitor vacant properties, issue Notices of Violation against neglected properties, and take action to cleanup properties. With help from the public, the Town can better identify every existing eyesore within communities.

Once a property has been identified as abandoned or an eyesore, Code Enforcement Officers inspect the property to assess the property. The Town explores all possible avenues to spur the owner to rehabilitate the property.

Once all options have been exhausted, the Town will

seek legal remedies to demolish eyesore in the community.

“The objective of the Town’s Zombie Home Program is to ensure the Town of Oyster Bay continues to be a highly desirable community to live, work and raise a family,” added Supervisor Saladino said.

“This new, online registry will help our Department of Planning and Development enhance their tracking of eyesores. Ultimately, if the property owner cannot keep it maintained, the goal of this initiative is to make way for new families and new homes after tearing down these zombie homes.”

The Town’s Abandoned Property/Zombie Home Registry was established under a grant provided through the New York State Housing Stabilization Fund. To report an abandoned property, please visit www.oysterbaytown. com/abandoned-property.

the free online job skills training service, is offered through The Workforce Partnership - a consortium of local governments committed to providing free and valuable information and services to both employers and jobseekers.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “Many people have experienced unimaginable and unprecedented hardship throughout this

pandemic, and as a result, many businesses have closed and individuals have lost work because of it. As we continue turning the corner in the fight against COVID-19, residents are looking to return to work and we’re proud to offer the Metrix E-Learning System to those who seek to ‘skillup’ and re-enter the workforce more capable than when they left it.

Of course, services are available for those looking for new employment opportunities as well, including recent college graduates and persons looking to change career paths.”
