Legislator Anker Joins Longwood for Blessings in a Backpack Fundraiser

BIAB Fundraiser

RIDGE, NY – Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker recently joined the Longwood community at a Blessings in a Backpack fundraiser at Gray’s Hardware and Paints in Ridge. All proceeds went towards Blessings in a Backpack’s mission, which is to provide meals for students in need over the weekends during the school year. Currently Longwood’s chapter of Blessings in a Backpack serves nearly 400 students in the district. This event raised over $4,000 and over 500 food items to be donated.

“It is wonderful to see the community coming together to support such a great cause,” said Legislator Anker. “I would like to thank Trisha Ewald of Blessings in a Backpack, Scott Wood of Gray’s Hardware, local civics, and the fire department for the great work they are doing to serve their neighbors in need.”

Blessings in a Backpack is a national organization that strives to ensure children do not go hungry on the weekends by empowering individuals and communities to take action. It currently serves over 87,000 children in 1,092 schools in 45 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For more information on Blessings in a Backpack, please visit www.blessingsinabackpack.org or call 631-379-9838 to reach the Longwood chapter.
