Long Island Home Builders Care collected and donated $1,000 to Christmas Magic. Due to Covid-19 Christmas Magic is unable to hold the parties they have for the children in their program. The donation will help the program to buy the gifts to give out to the children for the holiday season.
It’s amazing to be doing the work we love to do at Long-Island Home-Builders Care. It can bring a whole other level of meaning and fulfillment to your day. But that doesn’t even compare to the degree it helps others who need it the most.
During the thick of COVID, LIHBC was unable to provide a traditional food drive to the Babylon Food Pantry. However, we kept our donations flowing on a monthly basis through fully tax deductible monetary donations. Now that the vaccines are allowing for the ease of social distancing, we are back at it and in the trenches helping supply food.
For anyone who is fortunate enough to be able to contribute, thank you and I’ll put the link below. Please know that 100% of every dollar raised will go directly to the food drive.
