Reworld™ Teams Up with Island Harvest at Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive
On December 6, 2024, employees from Reworld™ gathered at the Bethpage Federal Credit Union's headquarters in Long Island for the 16th edition of the Bethpage Turkey Drive. This event stands out as Long Island's largest single-day food drive and has become a vital means of support for those battling food insecurity in the community.
In collaboration with Island Harvest Food Bank, Reworld™ played a key role in this initiative, which focuses on providing Thanksgiving meals to families who may otherwise go without.
Maureen Early, Lead Community Relations Specialist at Reworld™, emphasized the company’s commitment to community service: "Giving back to the community is at the heart of our mission at Reworld™. We are proud to support Island Harvest's critical efforts to combat food insecurity on Long Island and to be part of an event that ensures families can gather around a warm meal this Thanksgiving."
The Turkey Drive invited donations of various essentials, including frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items, and financial contributions. These efforts are crucial for Island Harvest, which relies on community support to distribute meals through its extensive network of over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and feeding programs across Long Island.
Amidst rising hunger, Feeding America has reported that approximately 221,190 individuals in Long Island are struggling with food insecurity, alongside around 44,780 children. To meet this escalating demand, Island Harvest aims to distribute a staggering 20 million pounds of food across Nassau and Suffolk counties this year alone.
Recognizing the increasing pressure on food banks, Reworld™ stepped forward with financial support to enhance Island Harvest's initiatives. Such contributions prove vital, especially as food banks face amplified needs as the holiday season approaches.
Reworld™ is not only committed to immediate community support but also focuses on sustainability and long-term wellness. Their involvement in events like the Bethpage Turkey Drive highlights their dedication to creating a positive community impact.
