Annual Food & Clothing Drives

Long Island Cares -- Food Drive:   

As one of our many community projects, the staff at Cona Elder Law will be donating non-perishable food items to Long Island Cares, The Harry Chapin Food Bank.  On December 19th, Cona Elder Law staff will be volunteering at the LI Cares warehouse to sort and pack food donations which will be distributed to 560 soup kitchens and food pantries across Long Island.

Please join us in supporting the Long Island Cares food bank by bringing non-perishable food items to the Susan C. Snowe Caregiver Resource Center located at Cona Elder Law's Melville offices between now and March 31, 2013.

Midnight Run -- Clothing & Food for the Homeless

Donations of the items listed below* can be made by delivery to our office during the holidays and continuing to the end of February:

• Food: bottled water, granola bars or other individually packaged snack foods
• Toiletry kits (travel size toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, shaving kits)

Monetary contributions can also be made which will be used to purchase additional food, clothing and necessities. Please make checks payable to Cona Elder Law Charitable Events and note "Midnight Run" on the memo line.

Midnight Run is a consortium of churches, synagogues, schools and civic groups that collect food, clothes, household goods, blankets and personal care items for distribution among the homeless.  Since 1984, Midnight Run has provided over 900 relief missions per year.  Cona Elder Law is the only business entity that participates in the relief missions.  For more information on Midnight Run, visit www.MidnightRun.org.
