Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, the Long Island community came together in the spirit of giving to help our neighbors in need. These caring Long Islanders – your friends, neighbors and local businesses – generously donated to the 2020 Newsday Charities Help-A-Family campaign, raising $428,341.24. Newsday covers all expenses, so 100% of the money raised will be granted to local nonprofit agencies that provide programs focusing on hunger, housing, child abuse prevention & treatment and youth education.
Thanks to these donors, and many more who asked to remain anonymous, Long Island’s most vulnerable children and families will receive the care they desperately need.
