North Hempstead Share Officials Holiday Joy with Northport VA

North Hempstead officials took a ride out to the Northport Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center on Dec. 13 to drop off dozens of boxes of personal care items, clothing and more as part of the town’s first veterans donation drive.

“I am overwhelmed by the success of our first donation drive and am thankful that we can give back to those who have served our country so proudly,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth after dropping off more than one hundred gift wrapped boxes to Northport VA officials.

Other donations included liquid body soap, hair brushes, deodorant, shaving cream, notepads, address books, powdered laundry detergent, coffee, and gift cards.
