The Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit Island Harvest Food Bank is set for Friday, Nov. 18, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s headquarters at 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage.
The annual drive, now in its 14th year, will include a no-contact donation car drive-through, allowing people to remain in their cars while volunteers remove donations from the vehicles.
Appreciated donations include frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, supermarket gift cards or monetary donations. These donations will go directly to Island Harvest, which will help supply Thanksgiving meals to more than 300,000 Long Islanders who face food insecurity. The donations will be distributed to more than 400 food pantries, soup kitchens and other feeding programs on Long Island. Non-perishable food items needed include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelf-stable milk – no glass containers.
