Our Accomplishments

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.
