Every day a new effect of the pandemic ripples through our nation, into our neighbor’s and into our own homes in unforeseen ways. Within our own community families are currently without income and it’s unknown when they’ll see it return as we wade through these uncharted waters. 

The Brookhaven Village Association has made donations to Island Harvest Food Bank and Lighthouse Mission to help those in our community struggling whether from financial challenges or for our isolated, at risk elderly. We believe we are all in this together and are called to action by sharing our resources. The BVA encourages all in our community that are able, to please donate. In these uncertain times, it may be your neighbor or the family down the street that is in need. 

Island Harvest Food Bank is a lifeline for those struggling to put food on the table during this unprecedented public health crisis. Your generosity will allow them to continue to provide critical food and support for homebound seniors, veterans, struggling families and children who are directly affected by the Coronavirus.

To donate please go to BVA supporting Island Harvest Covid-19 Response.  Please leave in the comments that you’d like your donation to serve the Brookhaven Hamlet area.  If you’d like to donate by phone, please call 516-294-8528  Please mention this will go towards the BVA fund.

If you’re struggling or you know of a struggling family, an at risk elderly neighbor or a veteran in need of food assistance please contact Island Harvest for pantry services. Island Harvest pantries have convenient grab and go bags pre-packed for families and individuals. Island Harvest Food Bank 516-294-8528
