This holiday season, the employees "adopted" and brought gifts for dozens of Long Island children in need.
TOWN OF ISLIP, NY — This holiday season, Town of Islip residents helped bring joy to over 60 children in need. Several staff members recently participated in the 2020 Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.
Through this charity program, the employees adopted over 60 "angels" and then chose toys, bicycles, dolls, clothing, games and more from each child’s wish list to give as gifts.
The gifts were then bundled, labeled and taken back to Salvation Army headquarters in Northport, where they’ll be distributed to families in need.
